YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul will fight two-time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua in a professional bout on December 19 in Miami, streamed live on Netflix.
The highly anticipated heavyweight boxing match between Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua is scheduled for December 19 at Kaseya Center in Miami, consisting of eight three-minute rounds and streaming live on Netflix. This marks the most significant challenge for the 28-year-old Paul, who holds a 12-1 record with 7 KOs, having last defeated Julio César Chávez Jr. by unanimous decision in June. Paul expressed the magnitude of the event, calling it 'Judgment Day' and a 'professional heavyweight fight against an elite world champion in his prime,' asserting that a victory would validate his career and position him for a world title opportunity. His opponent, 36-year-old Anthony Joshua, a two-time world champion and Olympic gold medallist, last fought in September 2024, losing to Daniel Dubois in an IBF title fight. Joshua conveyed his confidence, stating, 'Jake or anyone can get this work. No mercy,' and promising a 'mega show' where he aims to 'break the internet over Jake Paul’s face.'
