Jake Paul Will Fight Heavyweight Champ Anthony Joshua Next Month

On December 19, Jake Paul will face Anthony Joshua in Miami's Kaseya Center in an eight-round professional heavyweight bout streamed live on Netflix, Most Valuable Promotions said.
After Gervonta 'Tank' Davis's Nov. 14 cancelation, promoters sought a replacement and Most Valuable Promotions said Jake Paul would fight before the end of 2025, with The Ring reporting last-week negotiations for Joshua.
Jake Paul has far fewer pro rounds and a 12-1 record compared with Anthony Joshua's deep experience, as Joshua recently weighed 252 lbs while Paul fought between 199 and 227 lbs.
Promoters said the bout will be a sanctioned professional fight with standard heavyweight rules, and Anthony Joshua called it a big opportunity signaling no mercy.
With Netflix exposure and global reach, the bout raises Jake Paul's mainstream profile and fuels speculation about a Joshua–Tyson Fury superfight in London or Gulf-state events next year.
