The showdown will air exclusively on Netflix.

Tonight, Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua will step into the ring with their legacies at stake. One stands as boxing’s most divisive modern star, while the other is a former heavyweight champion determined to reclaim his place.

On December 19 at the Kaseya Centre in Miami, Florida, their clash is set to deliver spectacle, scrutiny, and real consequences.

Jake Paul enters the biggest fight of his career with momentum and belief. The YouTuber-turned-boxer has steadily built a 12–1 professional record, silencing some critics while daring others to judge him even louder. Facing Anthony Joshua, however, is a different level entirely. This is not a novelty opponent; it’s a full-scale heavyweight test.

For Joshua, this fight is about redemption. The Olympic gold medalist and former two-time unified heavyweight champion returns after a 15-month layoff, eager to put his devastating loss to Daniel Dubois behind him. Now bigger, stronger, and carrying immense pressure, the 36-year-old understands that another defeat could reshape how his legacy is remembered.
