Anthony Joshua is fully committed to his upcoming bout against Jake Paul, having traveled to Miami early to acclimate to the time difference.

The former two-time unified heavyweight champion has been out of action since suffering a devastating knockout loss to Daniel Dubois in September 2024 at Wembley Stadium. After a lengthy recovery from injury and elbow surgery, Joshua is now back in rigorous training, preparing for his comeback to the ring.

The announcement of Joshua facing Paul caught many by surprise. The highly-anticipated clash is scheduled for December 19 in Miami, Florida, to be fought over eight three-minute rounds with both fighters wearing 10oz gloves.

While Joshua is favored to win against the YouTube sensation turned boxer, he is leaving nothing to chance. Eddie Hearn, his boxing promoter, confirmed Joshua’s intense preparation in Miami, emphasizing his sharp condition ahead of the lucrative showdown.

The heavyweight showdown between Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul will be live-streamed on Netflix on December 19. Fans can access the fight for free with Sky’s £15 Essential TV bundle, offering the lowest price for Sky TV.

Hearn disclosed that Joshua must weigh in under 245lb for the fight, a requirement that seems manageable despite initial concerns about weight cutting. Hearn admitted to some exaggeration during negotiation discussions, highlighting the specifics of the weight restrictions imposed on Joshua.

The highly-anticipated fight between Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul is set to take place in Miami on December 19, just days before Christmas. The fight is expected to commence around 11 pm local time, catering to the American audience and subject to potential scheduling changes based on the undercard duration. The event will be broadcast live on Netflix.
