"The Guy’s a Joke. He’s a Dumba**" - Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua Go Nuclear on Francis Ngannou Ahead of Netflix Boxing Clash

Jake Paul switched from an exhibition to a sanctioned heavyweight bout against Anthony Joshua following Gervonta Davis's fight cancellation, with the match set for eight 3-minute rounds.

  • Jake Paul committed to a sanctioned heavyweight fight against Anthony Joshua on December 19 at Kaseya Center, Miami, announced at a press conference.
  • Originally expecting an exhibition against a smaller opponent, Paul pivoted after his planned fight with Gervonta `Tank` Davis was canceled last Friday due to accusations against Davis.
  • Joshua's credentials — Olympic gold and two unified heavyweight titles — underline the challenge for Paul, who vowed he was prepared to be cut and ready to die in the ring.
  • Eddie Hearn, promoter for Anthony Joshua, voiced skepticism about Paul's chances and warned he would 'find out the hard way' in Miami, urging caution in a statement.
  • With Netflix streaming the event, the matchup is positioned for broad commercial exposure as media headlines framed Paul's commitment with dramatic language such as `Ready to Die`, amplifying the fight's intense portrayal.
