Judgement Day is coming — and it’s coming under the Miami lights. Jake Paul, the YouTuber-turned-puncher who keeps ignoring the script, is stepping into the ring with Anthony Joshua, the former two-time unified heavyweight champion. It’s the most chaotic, bizarre, money-loaded crossover fight boxing has seen in years… and yes, it’s all happening live on Netflix.
The Madness Behind Making This Fight
No one — literally no one — had “Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua” on their 2025 bingo card. Yet here we are. Talks kicked off back in July when Eddie Hearn casually admitted the matchup was being discussed. “Why not?” he said. “If it’s there… if it’s open… and if it’s a warm-up before Fury.” Classic Hearn — half joking, half scheming, fully counting the potential millions.
Meanwhile, AJ’s trainer Ben Davison wasn’t exactly thrilled. Heavyweight killer vs influencer boxer? Yeah, he had questions. He also wasn’t locked in long-term, meaning he might not even be in Joshua’s corner for this one.
At the same time, AJ had other options. Tony Yoka’s name floated around after he joined Queensberry, but the hype machine kept pushing Paul into the front seat. Even when Paul lined up an exhibition bout with Gervonta Davis, the boxing universe laughed — until Netflix cancelled the entire card and sent Jake scrambling for heavyweight sparring partners instead.

Fight Officially Announced — Miami, December 19
On November 17, the boxing world finally exploded. The fight is official. Eight rounds. Three minutes each. 10 oz gloves. And Jake Paul — usually a cruiserweight — is stepping into the land of giants. Just to spice things up, the contract even caps Joshua at 245 lbs. Not that AJ ever needed to weigh more than that to knock someone’s head into orbit.
With a reported purse of $184 million, this thing is less a fight and more a global spectacle dripping in cash.
