Former heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua, is set to face YouTube star Jake Paul in a heavyweight boxing match on December 19, 2025, at Miami’s Kaseya Centre. 

This will be a professional heavyweight bout, streamed live on Netflix, marking Paul’s biggest challenge yet against a former two-time heavyweight champion.

This fight replaces Paul’s cancelled exhibition match with Gervonta Davis, and Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, expects a massive audience, with potential earnings of up to $88 million for Joshua.

However, Jake Paul, 28, knocked out heavyweight Mike Tyson in Texas back in November 2024. As for Anthony Joshua, he’s been on the sidelines since losing to Daniel Dubois in their IBF title fight at Wembley last September.
