Paul has not fought in the ring since his victory over former middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr on June 28.

Prior to that, the YouTube star had beaten boxing legend Mike Tyson in a controversial match-up in November last year.

There had been talk that Paul would face British heavyweight Anthony Joshua next in the ring, with promoter Eddie Hearn speaking up the chances.

However, a fight against Davis would be more controversial considering the enormous size difference between the two boxers.

Tank is currently the WBA lightweight champion and last tipped the scales at just under 134lbs.

Paul, meanwhile, has weighed in as heavy as 227lbs while his career-lowest weight came in at 184lbs.

Against Chavez Jr, Paul weighed in at 119.5lbs.

It means that any fight between the two Americans would likely go ahead as an exhibition and it is hard to see either boxer reaching each other's level in three months.

There is also another issue with the alleged fight, with the venue already booked for the named date.

Comedian Nate Bargatze is set to headline the State Farm Arena on both November 15 and 16, Saturday and Sunday.

Netflix have also preferred to broadcast their fights on Friday night - with Paul vs Tyson and Taylor vs Serrano going ahead on that day.
