Former Klitschko and Usyk opponent Anthony Joshua will fight American YouTuber boxer Jack Paul in the US.
The bout is scheduled for December 19 in Miami and will be held in the heavyweight division as a professional fight. Jack Paul (12‑1, 7 KOs), who has over 20 million YouTube subscribers, was originally set to face WBA lightweight champion Gervonta Davis, but that fight fell through due to legal issues involving Davis. Paul’s last fight was in June, when he defeated Julio César Chávez Jr. by decision after 10 rounds.
36‑year‑old Joshua (28‑4, 25 KOs), an Olympic champion and former world heavyweight titleholder, previously defeated Wladimir Klitschko and lost his belts in 2022 after consecutive defeats to Oleksandr Usyk. Joshua’s most recent fight was in September 2024, when he was knocked out in the fifth round by Daniel Dubois.
