Heavyweight boxing fans have a thrilling showdown to look forward to as Anthony Joshua is reportedly set to fight social media star-turned-boxer Jake Paul in Miami later this year.

According to The Daily Mail, both camps are close to finalizing an agreement, with the fight expected to take place on either December 9 or 12.

Jake Paul was originally scheduled to face American rival Davis this Saturday, but the bout was cancelled due to domestic violence allegations against Davis, opening the door for a potential clash with Joshua.

For Joshua, this fight marks a return to the ring following his defeat to British rival Daniel Dubois last year, when he was knocked out in the fifth round. That loss dashed his hopes of mounting a charge for the heavyweight titles and left fans eager to see how he bounces back.

A fight between Joshua and Paul promises to generate massive attention worldwide, pitting a former heavyweight champion against one of boxing’s most controversial and popular personalities.

Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see whether Joshua can reclaim his heavyweight glory or if Paul continues to defy expectations in the boxing world.
