Anthony Joshua is currently in Miami, preparing for his upcoming fight against Jake Paul. Following a defeat to Daniel Dubois in September 2024, Joshua had been out of action due to injuries. However, he has since undergone surgery and is back in training for his return to the ring.
The announcement of Joshua facing Paul took many by surprise. The fight is set to take place on December 19 in Miami, Florida, with both fighters gearing up for an eight-round showdown wearing 10oz gloves.
While Joshua is expected to have the upper hand, he is not underestimating Paul. His promoter, Eddie Hearn, praised Joshua’s dedication to training and readiness for the bout.
The fight between Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul will be live-streamed on Netflix, available for free with Sky’s £15 Essential TV bundle. Joshua has been instructed to weigh no more than 245lb for the fight, a target he seems on track to meet without major weight-cutting issues.
Hearn revealed some details of the negotiation process, highlighting the specific weight requirement for Joshua and the tactics discussed for the bout. The fight is scheduled just days before Christmas and is expected to air on Netflix, with potential time adjustments based on the undercard duration.
Fans can anticipate the clash between Joshua and Paul in Miami, with the fight likely to commence around 11 pm local time, translating to 4 am in the UK. The event aims to cater to the American audience and is subject to timing modifications based on the undercard progress.
