Official: Jake Paul to Face Anthony Joshua

It has been officially confirmed that Jake Paul will face Anthony Joshua. The matchup will take place on December 19, 2025, in Miami at the Kaseya Center.

It was also announced immediately that the fight will be held in the Heavyweight division and will be fully official, not an exhibition. This means the result will be added to both fighters’ professional records.

Jake Paul was originally scheduled to face Gervonta Davis in November, but the fight was canceled. Anthony Joshua has not been in the ring since 2024, when he was knocked out by Daniel Dubois.
