The rumoured\u00a0Jake Paul<\/a>\u00a0vs Anthony Joshua fight has been confirmed by broadcaster\u00a0Netflix<\/a>\u00a0and will\u00a0take place next month.<\/a><\/p>\n

YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul (12-1) will take on the former heavyweight world champion Joshua (28-4) on\u00a0December 19<\/strong>\u00a0at the Kaseya Center in Miami,\u00a0Florida<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The event is dubbed \u2018Judgement Day\u2019 and the professional fight has been confirmed to take place over eight rounds at heavyweight, although Joshua cannot weight more than 245lbs.<\/p>\n

The 36-year-old has weight above that limit in each of his last five fights, last coming in lighter at 244.5lbs against Oleksandr Usyk in August 2022.<\/p>\n

Joshua said: \u2018Jake or anyone can get this work. No mercy. I took some time out and I\u2019m coming back with a mega show. It\u2019s a big opportunity for me.<\/p>\n

\u2018Whether you like it or not, I\u2019m here to do massive numbers, have big fights and break every record whilst keeping cool, calm and collected.<\/p>\n

\u2018Mark my words, you\u2019ll see a lot more fighters take these opportunities in the future. I\u2019m about to break the internet over Jake Paul\u2019s face.\u2019<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Paul added: \u2018This isn\u2019t an AI simulation. This is Judgment Day. A professional heavyweight fight against an elite world champion in his prime.<\/p>\n

\u2018When I beat Anthony Joshua, every doubt disappears, and no one can deny me the opportunity to fight for a world title. To all my haters, this is what you wanted. To the people of the United Kingdom, I am sorry.<\/p>\n

\u2018On Friday, December 19, under the lights in Miami, live globally only on Netflix, the torch gets passed and Britain\u2019s Goliath gets put to sleep. I KNOWWWW YOU GOT EM PICKED HAHAHHA.\u2019<\/p>\n

AJ wrote on X: \u2018He\u2019s loco mhen\u2019 with a link to tickets to the event, which go on pre-sale on November 21, before general sale the following day.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Chairman of Matchroom Sport, Eddie Hearn, said: \u2018They say be careful what you wish for, kind of feel like that\u2019s all I need to say.<\/p>\n

\u2018Two of the biggest names in the sport will collide on December 19. Whilst I admire Jake\u2019s balls, he\u2019s going to find out the hard way in Miami.\u2019<\/p>\n

Paul has beaten an array of MMA fighters, journeymen and boxers considerably past their prime.<\/p>\n

He out-pointed Mike Tyson last year and Julio Cesar Chavez in June in his two most recent wins. His only loss came against Tommy Fury via split decision in February 2023.<\/p>\n

Paul was due to face lightweight world champion Gervonta Davis in an exhibition bout on November 14 but\u00a0the event was cancelled due to criminal allegations against Davis.<\/a><\/p>\n

The step up to fight a heavyweight in a professional bout is vast, with the lightweight limit at 135lbs and Joshua weighing in for his last fight at 252lbs.<\/p>\n

Joshua has not fought since a knockout defeat to Daniel Dubois at Wembley in September 2024.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u2018Everyone laughed when Jake Paul said in March that he wanted to fight AJ in 2026,\u2019 said Nakisa Bidarian, CEO of Most Valuable Promotions. \u2018Well, plans changed, and in under two weeks, MVP and Netflix have made one of the biggest fights of all time.<\/p>\n

\u2018Now, as only Jake Paul could and would do, he\u2019s fighting one of the most fearsome boxers in the world. Joshua has every advantage in this fight, except one \u2013 the delusional confidence of Jake Paul, and if anyone can shock the world, it\u2019s him.<\/p>\n

\u2018This is a global clash between two of the most recognizable figures in the sport, Jake, the face of boxing\u2019s new era, and Joshua, the King of UK boxing.\u2019<\/p>\n
