The fight between Jake Paul and Gervonta “Tank’’ Davis is off.

With Davis facing a civil lawsuit and criminal investigation after a woman said the boxer attacked her last week, Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) and Netflix on Monday, Nov. 3, announced they no longer will move forward with the fight that was scheduled to be held Nov. 14 at the Kaseya Center in Miami.

The announcement came via a news release issued Monday night.

“Our team has worked closely with all parties to navigate this situation responsibly,” said Nakisa Bidarian, CEO of MVP, co-founded with Paul. “While we will not be moving forward with this event, our plan still remains for Jake Paul to headline an event on Netflix in 2025. Details regarding a new date, location, Jake’s opponent, and additional bouts will be shared as soon as they are finalized. We thank Netflix, the Kaseya Center, and the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino for their partnership.”

Initially, the controversy around the fight centered around the weight disparity between the 5-5 1/2 Davis and the 6-1 Paul. But the narrative took a jarring turn last week when a woman filed a civil lawsuit detailing allegations that Davis attacked her at Tootsie's Cabaret Miami, a strip club in Miami Gardens where she works as a VIP cocktail hostess, according to the lawsuit.

The woman said the two had an intimate relationship for five months prior to the alleged attack.

On Saturday, MVP issued a statement addressing the situation.

“At this time we are gathering information and reviewing the details to ensure any decision we make is thoroughly vetted,’’ MVP’s statement reads. “We unequivocally condemn any form of violence and are committed to handling this matter with diligence and respect for all involved.

“We will make a determination on the next steps once we have completed our review and consulted with the appropriate parties. Until then, we will not be commenting further.’’

But the legal issues were moving forward quickly.

A judge granted the woman a temporary restraining order and one of the two attorneys who represent the money told USA TODAY Sports on Monday, Nov. 3 that they had subpoenaed videotape they think captured footage of the alleged attack.

Jeff Chukwuma, the attorney, said the strip club’s general manager, Mehall Ledwith, told them a videotape has been preserved.

“It's just a matter of going about obtaining it,’’ Chukwuma said, adding he expects police to obtain the videotape sooner.

An employee at Tootsie’s Cabaret Miami told USA TODAY Sports by phone Monday night that Ledwith was not at the club and might be traveling.

The Miami Gardens Police Department said the matter is an “active case’’ but provided USA TODAY Sports no other information.

Davis was in no mood to talk when reached by phone Monday and asked whether the fight will take place.

Davis, asked about the status of the fight when reached by USA TODAY Sports before MVP issued its news release, said, "You don't contact me’’ and ended the call.

Fans who purchased tickets for the fight through Ticketmaster will get an automatic refund through their original point of purchase within 14-21 days, according to MVP. The promoter also said fans who purchased through secondary markets should contact them.

Online ticket sellers still were listing tickets after MVP issued the press release.
