"Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul will face each other in a heavyweight fight in Miami on 19 December, it has been confirmed. Rumours of the fight between Paul, a YouTuber-turned-boxer, and Joshua, the British former heavyweight champion of the world, had been trailed earlier this month and Paul's company, Most Valuable Promotions, confirmed the news on Monday. The fight will be shown live on Netflix."
"Joshua, the 36-year-old former two-time unified heavyweight champion, has not fought since being stopped by Daniel Dubois in September 2024. Jake or anyone can get this work. No mercy, said Joshua, who won gold at the 2012 Olympics. I took some time out and I'm coming back with a mega show. It's a big opportunity for me. Whether you like it or not, I'm here to do massive numbers, have big fights and break every record whilst keeping cool, calm and collected."
A heavyweight fight between Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua is confirmed for 19 December in Miami and will be shown live on Netflix. Paul calls the event "Judgment Day" and says a win will clear doubts and open a path to a world-title opportunity. Joshua, 36, is returning after being stopped by Daniel Dubois in September 2024 and promises a major comeback, big numbers and record-breaking shows. Paul was previously scheduled to fight Gervonta Davis before that event was cancelled amid allegations. Netflix previously set streaming records with the Tyson bout.
