Description

Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua meet in one of the most unusual and high-profile crossover events boxing has ever produced. Scheduled for 19 December 2025 in Miami, the fight is a sanctioned eight-round heavyweight bout streamed globally, and the matchup blends spectacle with genuine competitive intrigue.

Joshua enters as the overwhelming favourite. He’s the far more experienced fighter, a former unified world heavyweight champion with elite pedigree, technical fundamentals, and real heavyweight knockout power. His jab, straight right, and ability to control range remain his strongest weapons. Against Paul, Joshua’s goal will be simple: keep the fight disciplined, avoid reckless exchanges, and use size and strength to impose order.
The pressure is mostly on Joshua. A dominant win is expected, but anything short of that invites criticism. A loss would be catastrophic for his reputation.

Paul arrives with momentum and confidence. Though his résumé is far lighter, he has improved technically, tightened his jab, and developed respectable timing and counterpunching. This is by far the biggest challenge of his career, and his chances hinge on making the fight uncomfortable early.
Paul’s best path is to start fast, use feints, take risks in the first two rounds, and hope to catch Joshua before the former champion settles. He cannot allow Joshua to establish a measured, controlled pace.
