Bombshell Details Emerge in Latest Anthony Joshua vs Jake Paul Update

Fresh details have emerged regarding a prospective fight involving the former two-time heavyweight world boxing champion, Anthony Joshua, and the combat sports disruptor, Jake Paul. And it’s a bombshell.
Paul has been searching for a new opponent since he canceled an exhibition alongside Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis that he and his company Most Valuable Promotions had planned for the 14th of November at the Kaseya Center in Miami. Netflix was due to broadcast the show. However, Tank’s legal issues led to MVP nixing the entire show. While Paul will still fight in Miami, and on Netflix, MVP pushed the event into next month.
Then, this week, rumors returned that he could be swapping punches with Joshua, of all people. And the Brit’s long-time representative Eddie Hearn, the chairman of Matchroom, said the American influencer will need help carrying his balls to the ring if he really is to step through the ropes to box ‘AJ.’
Now, Hearn will be even more impressed. And there is one clear reason why.
Bombshell Details in Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua Negotiations
According to Ring Magazine reporter Mike Coppinger, a bout between Paul and Joshua will not be an exhibition, as had been the case with the Davis event.
When Paul first confirmed a show with Davis, it was originally set to take place at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta. However, the Georgia commissioner blasted organizers for what they termed a money grab, and promoting something they should not have been. And so MVP moved state, and placed the event in Florida. This time, there will be no confusion regarding rule set. This is, per reports, a real fight — not an unofficial bout.
Coppinger also posted on X, formerly Twitter, on the 13th of November that the fight will take place on the 19th of December; which is five weeks and one day away. As that’s a Friday, it’s likely the show will air on Netflix, rather than the customary Saturday shows which air on Joshua’s contracted broadcaster DAZN.
