Joshua Sets Up December Showdown With Jake Paul in Miami

"This is Judgment Day, and beating Joshua will show everyone I’m more than a hype fighter."

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul will face off in a high-profile heavyweight fight on December 19, 2025, at the Kaseya Center in Miami. The bout will stream live worldwide on Netflix, making it one of the platform’s biggest boxing events.

The professional heavyweight match will run for eight rounds, with both fighters using 10-ounce gloves. Joshua must weigh under 245 lbs, adding extra tension to the fight.

Jake Paul enters with a growing pro record and calls this fight “Judgment Day.” He believes a win over Joshua will silence critics and bring him closer to a world-title opportunity.

Joshua aims for a strong comeback after his knockout loss to Daniel Dubois in 2024. He promises an aggressive performance, vowing “no mercy” in the Miami ring.

Paul was originally set to face Gervonta Davis, but that fight fell through. The new matchup has quickly become one of the most talked-about boxing events of the year, featuring a former heavyweight champion against one of the sport’s most controversial rising stars.
