Jake Paul (28 years old) will fight Anthony Joshua (36 years old) in December in Miami, and the duel will be broadcast on Netflix. The YouTuber-turned-boxer had to refocus on the British boxer after the fight with Gervonta Davis (30) was canceled due to a new trial by Davis.
A year after the famous fight with Mike Tyson, Jake Paul should have met Gervonta Davis in the boxing ring. However, at the beginning of November, he was accused by his former partner of assault, aggravated assault, kidnapping, kidnapping and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Originally, Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), the promotion company of Paul and his business partner Nakisa Bidarian, issued a statement announcing that it was investigating Davis' case. Eventually, MVP announced that the match was canceled and the popular YouTuber began looking for another opponent.
“Our team has worked closely with all parties to navigate this situation responsibly. Even though we will not be moving forward with this event, our plan remains for Jake Paul to participate in a fight on Netflix in 2025,” Bidarian, director of Most Valuable Promotions, said.
According to The Guardian, in December, Paul will enter the boxing ring with Anthony Joshua (36 years old), a boxer with a record of 28 wins and 4 losses. The Briton's last match took place on September 21, at Wembley, when he was defeated by Daniel Dubois.
The showdown will take place on either December 19 or 26 in Miami, with the official date to be announced on Monday, November 17. The duel between Paul and Joshua can be watched live on Netflix.
