Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua is coming before the end of 2025.
After an initial report from Ring Magazine, a bout between Paul and the former unified heavyweight world champion is officially a “done deal” with the two scheduled to square off on Friday, December 19. According to Mike Coppinger, the bout will be a professional heavyweight fight, not an exhibition.

Paul was originally set to face WBA lightweight titleholder Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis on Friday; however, the fight was ultimately canceled after Davis became the subject of new domestic violence accusations.
