Anthony Joshua to fight Jake Paul in stunning heavyweight showdown
Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua are finalizing a December fight on Netflix after the Paul-Davis match was canceled amid a lawsuit against Davis, promoters said.
- On December 12, reports say Jake Paul, YouTuber-turned-boxer, is closing in on a Miami fight with Anthony Joshua, former two-time unified heavyweight champion, live on Netflix.
- Just a little over a week after the Paul–Davis cancellation, Most Valuable Promotions sought replacements for the Nov. 14 event but could not secure an opponent following a civil lawsuit against Gervonta Davis.
- According to Ring Magazine, Paul is in the final stages of securing Joshua, who has not fought since his knockout by Daniel Dubois and is poised to end a 14-month hiatus.
- Joshua sees the clash as a tune-up, while Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn said a decision was required this week for Joshua to be active in 2025.
- Given criticism of prior matchups, Nakisa Bidarian said, `This would be pursued as a straight up professional fight. I think there's certainly an experience gap between the two of them in terms of where they're at in their career.
