Jake Paul Nearing Deal to Fight Anthony Joshua on Netflix

"Jake Paul is daring to step into a world where knockout power meets social media fame."

Jake Paul, the social media star turned boxer, is close to finalizing a massive fight with former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua. The bout will stream exclusively on Netflix this December in Miami.

Sources say the deal could be worth around $50 million. It would rank among the biggest crossover events in modern boxing. Paul was set to fight Gervonta Davis, but that match was cancelled, opening the door for this clash.

If confirmed, Paul (12–1, 7 KOs) will face a huge challenge against Joshua (28–4, 25 KOs). Joshua aims to bounce back from his defeat to Daniel Dubois last year.

Netflix continues to expand into live sports, and this event may become one of its biggest yet. Reports suggest December 19 or 26 as possible dates, though the weight class remains undecided.

Fans and critics call it a “risky but historic move” as Jake Paul steps up against one of boxing’s most powerful heavyweights.
