Overview

  • Matchroom Boxing confirmed the professional fight for Dec. 19 at Miami’s Kaseya Center, with a live global stream on Netflix.
  • The bout is a sanctioned contest that will count on both fighters’ official records rather than an exhibition.
  • Contract terms set eight three-minute rounds, 10-ounce gloves, and a contractual 245-pound limit for Joshua, confirmed by MVP CEO Nakisa Bidarian.
  • The matchup was arranged after Jake Paul’s planned Nov. 14 event with Gervonta Davis was canceled following a civil lawsuit against Davis.
  • Jake Paul billed the fight as proof of his title ambitions, while Anthony Joshua vowed “no mercy” in his ring return after a September 2024 loss to Daniel Dubois.
