TKO Head Dana White on Joshua vs. Jake Paul: “A bad idea”

UFC and TKO Boxing head Dana White has shared his thoughts on the upcoming matchup between Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul, scheduled for December 2025.

“Oh, God… This is a f***ing bad idea. But let me tell you this: a lot of people are going to watch that fight.

Of course I’ll watch it too. You know why everyone will tune in? Because I think everyone is finally going to get what they’ve been waiting for,” White said.
