YouTube personality Jake Paul will meet former heavyweight titleholder Anthony Joshua at the Kaseya Center in Florida, with Netflix streaming the eight-round contest featuring 10-ounce gloves. Paul holds a 12-1 record after defeating Mike Tyson and claiming a unanimous decision over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, though his scheduled bout with Gervonta Davis was scrapped following civil litigation against the lightweight champion.
Joshua has remained inactive since losing his IBF belt to Daniel Dubois via stoppage at Wembley. The British fighter described the matchup as significant for his career trajectory while Paul predicted the result would eliminate doubts about his credentials and clear a path toward world title contention.
