Jake Paul has confirmed that he will, indeed, fight former world heavyweight champion ‘AJ’ Anthony Joshua in December, as he replaces Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis.
Over the last few years, Jake Paul has looked to add wins over professional boxers to his boxing record. The ‘Problem Child’ has scored wins over Andre August, Ryan Bourland, Mike Tyson, and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, bumping his record up to 12-1.
He was supposed to take on Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis in December, which would have presented him with his most challenging test yet.
However, that fight was called off after Davis was accused of battery, aggravated battery, false imprisonment, kidnapping, and intentional infliction of emotional distress in a new lawsuit from his ex-girlfriend.

“Yes, it’s real. JAKE PAUL vs ANTHONY JOSHUA will go head to head in a pro heavyweight fight LIVE only on Netflix. Friday December 19,” he announced on November 17.
