Jake Paul To Fight Gervonta Davis In November On Netflix

11:00 AM PT -- Jake Paul is officially going up against Gervonta Davis on Friday, November 14 at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, GA ... which will be streamed globally on Netflix.

Paul posted about it all ... saying, "Size vs Speed, Power vs Precision, One will rise and one will fall."

10:11 AM PT -- TMZ Sports is told the fight is, in fact, happening ... though the date, location and other details surrounding the event have not been confirmed.

The Jake Paul critics want him to take on a real challenge ... how does Gervonta Davis sound??

The news apparently broke via a since-deleted post from Netflix's official Turkey account on Wednesday ... which stated Jake and Tank would duke it out at State Farm Arena on November 15 -- and featured a flyer promoting the event.

The bout is reported to be an exhibition ... after all, there is a massive height and weight difference between the two pugilists -- and officials wouldn't ever sign off on making a mismatch like that official.

Jake is 6'1" and hangs around the cruiserweight division (200-lb. limit) ... and Tank stands at 5'5" and is a lightweight (135).

El Gallo was most recently linked to Anthony Joshua for a pro contest ... which would have been a major step up in an opponent, but that apparently fell through.

Paul is 12-1 ... but his haters have always pointed out how he has mostly faced MMA greats or boxers past their prime. His lone loss came against someone in his age range -- Tommy Fury. Most recently, he has wins over legend Mike Tyson and former middleweight champ Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

Davis, on the other hand, is 30-0-1 ... and is a multi-division champ. He is quite possibly the most dangerous pound-for-pound fighter on the planet.
