Olympic gold medalist and World Boxing Organization heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua will be the next to take on YouTuber-turned boxer Jake Paul in a live fight for Netflix next month, the streamer confirmed Monday.
Joshua, a 6-foot-6 inch, 252-pound boxer, will return to the ring for the first time since he was knocked out by rival and then-IBF champion Daniel Dubois in a fight at Wembley Stadium September 2024.
Paul, 6-foot-1 and typically a cruiserweight (a max of 200 pounds), said beating Joshua would make "every doubt" in him disappear: "To all my haters, this is what you wanted."
