Jake Paul was originally scheduled to fight Gervonta Davis on November 14th, as part of Netflix‘s next major live event.
However, the fight was canceled earlier this month, following an investigation launched by Most Valuable Productions into a civil lawsuit filed against Davis.
At the time, Netflix and Most Valuable Productions confirmed the plan was still to host a fight on Netflix sometime before the end of the year. The exact date and opponent, however, remained unclear.
Over the past week, reports had started to circulate indicating that talks had opened for a potential matchup between Paul and Joshua. Today, those reports became reality, with Most Valuable Productions confirming the fight is now going ahead.
The pro heavyweight fight between Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua will take place on Friday, December 19. 2025.
As was the case with the previously canceled bout between Paul and Davis, the matchup between Paul and Joshua will stream live on Netflix (from 8 PM ET / 5PM PT).
For those interested in watching ringside, the fight will take place at Kaseya Center in Miami, FL. Tickets are due to go on general sale this Friday at 12 PM ET, with the presale beginning Thursday at 10 AM ET.
