Boxing: Not just Tyson, Jake Paul aims for a fight with Joshua

Rome, Nov. 13. (LaPresse) – After his blockbuster fight with Mike Tyson (with 65 million simultaneous streams), YouTuber and boxer Jake Paul is preparing to face another former heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua. According to The Guardian, the two athletes are finalizing the details of a fight to be held in Miami on December 19 or 26. The agreement is reportedly in the final stages, to the point that, according to the British newspaper, the show is expected to be announced by Netflix next Monday. Paul was originally scheduled to face Gervonta Davis on November 14 at the Kaseya Center, but the event was canceled when Davis was accused of domestic violence by his ex-partner Courtney Rossel. After the cancellation, Paul attacked Davis on X, calling him a “real piece of walking trash.” From there, the search for a new challenger began: Ryan Garcia and Terence Crawford were considered before intensifying contacts with Joshua, who has not fought since September 2024, when he was defeated by Daniel Dubois.
