Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua Set for Miami on Friday in Netflix‑Exclusive Heavyweight Bout

With Joshua capped at 245 pounds, lopsided odds set up a test of Paul’s legitimacy.

Overview

  • The sanctioned main event is Friday, Dec. 19, at Miami’s Kaseya Center and streams exclusively on Netflix under professional rules of eight three‑minute rounds with 10‑ounce gloves.
  • Most Valuable Promotions CEO Nakisa Bidarian confirmed a contractual weigh‑in cap of 245 pounds for Anthony Joshua, with no official limit for Jake Paul.
  • Tickets remain on sale via Ticketmaster, starting at $62 for standard admission and running up to $6,600 for Diamond VIP packages, with many sections still available.
  • Betting markets list Joshua as a clear favorite, with knockout or technical knockout outcomes heavily backed, and promoter Eddie Hearn says a Joshua loss would be “an absolute disaster.”
  • Paul has claimed the event’s purse totals $267 million, while prominent voices such as Juan Manuel Márquez continue to question his credentials as a boxer.
