Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in December.The fight everyone was waiting for is confirmed! Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua will face each other in a heavyweight bout on December 19 in Miami, Florida.
The YouTuber turned boxer, Jake Paul (12-1, 7 KOs), will face the former two-time heavyweight world champion and Olympic gold medalist for England, Anthony Joshua (28-4, 24 KOs).
This confrontation, which has been the subject of rumors for much of the year, was finally confirmed recently. Both pugilists met on Friday in Miami for a pre-fight press conference.
The fight will be real, not an exhibition. Eight rounds of three minutes each will be contested, using 10-ounce gloves.
This represents a great challenge for Paul, while Joshua hasn’t fought since his defeat in September 2024 against Daniel Dubois at Wembley.
Regardless of the opinion on the event, it promises to attract a large audience and will be a hot topic in the sports world for the next month.
