Jake Paul won't face off against Gervonta 'Tank' Davis as originally planned on November 14 at the Kaseya Center in Miami. A major setback hit the event when authorities charged Davis with serious crimes, including aggravated assault and kidnapping, forcing Most Valuable Promotions to pull the plug on the $40 million fight that Netflix planned to broadcast.
Meanwhile, Edgar Berlanga has stepped forward with new energy following the fight’s cancellation. As soon as news broke, Berlanga wasted no time and took to his X account. With enthusiasm, he publicly extended a challenge to Jake Paul for a replacement bout. He stated,
"Hey, Jake. Answer the phone. I've been calling you. Let's get the fight done. Stop playing."In another statement made on social media, Berlanga confidently declared,
"If Jake wants to fight for real, here I am. Send me the contract and let's make it happen."
Berlanga is keen on taking advantage of this opportunity. The New York native holds a record of 23 wins with 18 knockouts and suffered only two losses—most recently experiencing a setback against Hamzah Sheeraz this past July through a fifth-round TKO loss. Despite these challenges, Berlanga aims high and eyes Jose Armando Resendiz as a potential opponent in 2026.
Conversely, Jake Paul seems less interested in Berlanga's offer despite it being out in public for all boxing enthusiasts to witness. Sources close to Paul hint at him considering other possibilities rather than answering Berlanga’s challenge directly; they suggest he's likely weighing up options versus potential opponents like Ryan Garcia or Francis Ngannou.
