Jake Paul will face former heavyweight champ Anthony Joshua in an eight-round boxing match on Dec. 19 in Miami, Most Valuable Promotions announced Monday.
The fight billed as "Jake vs. Joshua: Judgment Day" will take place at Kaseya Center and will stream live on Netflix. The fighters will wear 10-ounce gloves, the standard for heavyweight bouts.
Paul, 28, had originally planned a Nov. 14 exhibition against WBA lightweight champion Gervonta "Tank" Davis but the event was canceled after Davis was named in a civil lawsuit by an ex-girlfriend alleging battery and kidnapping.
Instead of facing the 130-pound Davis, Paul (12-1, seven knockouts) will take on Joshua, a former two-time unified heavyweight champion and Olympic gold medalist from Britain who has fought as high as 256 pounds.
