Jake Paul to Battle Anthony Joshua in Netflix Heavyweight Blockbuster

S Social media sensation turned boxer Jake Paul is reportedly close to sealing a mega-fight deal against former two-time unified world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, in a bout set to stream live on Netflix this December.

According to reports, the anticipated showdown will mark one of boxing’s biggest crossovers yet, pairing Paul’s influencer-driven stardom with Joshua’s elite pedigree.

The announcement follows weeks after Paul’s planned exhibition bout with Gervonta “Tank” Davis collapsed amid allegations of domestic violence against Davis.

At 28, Paul (12-1, 7 KOs) has steadily transitioned from YouTube fame to professional boxing, amassing a significant following. Standing at 6'1" with a 76-inch reach, he last fought in November, securing a controversial win over 58-year-old Mike Tyson — a bout that drew over 110 million viewers on Netflix.

If finalized, the Joshua clash would mark Paul’s first fight against a top-tier heavyweight, blending entertainment spectacle with genuine championship-level competition in what is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about boxing events of the year.
