Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua – Will it happen?!

[bryangreybryangrey is verified member.]

So it looks like the rumors might actually be real, Jake Paul is reportedly finalizing a deal to fight Anthony Joshua in December 2025, possibly in Miami and even info on Netflix.

Multiple outlets (The Guardian, Reuters, Sky Sports) are saying the fight is close to being signed, though Eddie Hearn insists it’s not 100% official yet. Still, it sounds like both sides are seriously in talks and only the final details (date, venue, paperwork) are left.

For context:

• Anthony Joshua: 6'6", ~250 lbs, two-time unified heavyweight champ, Olympic gold medalist.
• Jake Paul: 6'1", ~200 lbs, YouTuber-turned-boxer, wins over Silva, Diaz, and Chavez Jr.
• Rumored date: Mid-to-late December 2025
• Location: Miami (TBD)
• Platform: Netflix

If this fight actually gets signed, it might be one of the wildest boxing crossovers ever — a legit world champion versus a YouTuber.

What do you all think?

• Is Jake completely out of his depth here?
• Does Joshua even gain anything from this?
• Could Jake Paul actually survive more than a few rounds against AJ?
• Or is this just another massive money-grab spectacle?
