Jake Paul and Gervonta 'Tank' Davis' exhibition bout has been moved to Miami, Florida less than two months out from fight night.

Originally scheduled to be held at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Paul and lightweight champion Davis will instead meet at The Kaseya Center in Miami on the same initial date of Friday, November 14.

MVP Promotions decided to relocate the event to Florida after withdrawing the event permits and rule waivers needed for the fight to take place in Georgia, amid concerns of the weight discrepancy between the two fighters.

Georgia Athletic and Entertainment Commission (GAEC) chairman Rick Thompson spoke out on the issue on Wednesday morning, stating: "I believe it's in the public's interest to know that because they've been promoting something they should not have been.

"They probably evaluated a situation - knew that their weight differences were too much."

Neither Paul nor Davis have taken part in an exhibition bout in the past, although the former competed in an amateur fight with fellow YouTube Deji Olatunji that was broadcast as a white-collar event in 2018.

The rules for November's exhibition clash are still yet to be confirmed.

Both fighters made updated statements following the venue change, with Paul exclaiming: "New city, same mission -- seek and destroy the Tank," Paul declared. "I'm bringing the heat, and Miami will see me take down this angry elf while the world watches live on Netflix."

His rival 'Tank' commented: "Jake Paul has been cherry-picking in boxing for a while, but he picked the wrong one this time. He better start losing some weight, chasing chickens, and praying it helps him fight night. Thank you to Netflix for giving me the chance to whoop this clown."

MVP Promotions co-founder Nakisa Bidarian shared: "On November 14, fans in Miami and millions watching globally will witness two of boxing's most electrifying stars collide in a once-in-a-lifetime showdown. We couldn't be more thrilled to bring this blockbuster to Kaseya Center."
