Several reports indicating that a fight between YouTuber turned professional boxer Jake Paul and former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua have been confirmed with the Ring Magazine stating that the fight will take place on December 19 at the Kaseya Centre in Miami.
Jake Paul infamously beat 58 year old retired boxer Mike Tyson in November 2024 with reportedly over 100 Million people tuning in to watch the fight.
Paul was originally scheduled to take on former super lightweight champion Gervonta Davis this month but the bout was called off after Davis run into fresh legal trouble.
The scheduled December fight is Joshua’s first bout of 2025 after losing via a vicious knockout to Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium in 2024.
Conditions for the upcoming bout have been set with Joshua directed to not weigh above 245 pounds, with each of the eight rounds scheduled to last three minutes. Both fighters will wear 10 ounce gloves for the fight.
The bout will be on streaming platform Netflix with a reported purse of 100 Million Pounds to be split by the boxers. The expected 50 million pounds payout will be the second highest in Joshua’s career.
Joshua reportedly earned 60 million pounds in his bout against Andy Ruiz. He was Ghana earlier this year and visited President of Ghana John Dramani Mahama.
