Joshua vs Jake Paul 2025: Miami Showdown Tonight

Anthony Joshua returns to face Jake Paul in a blockbuster heavyweight clash.

Anthony Joshua takes on Jake Paul tonight in Miami in one of boxing’s most talked‑about fights of the year. The British‑Nigerian heavyweight great is aiming to end the YouTuber‑turned‑boxer’s meteoric rise with a dominant performance in this heavyweight showdown at the Kaseya Center.

Joshua (36), coming off a fifth‑round KO loss to Daniel Dubois, returns to the ring for the first time since September 2024. Paul (28), undefeated since his June win over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., has dubbed the bout “Judgment Day” and predicted the “biggest upset in the history of sports.”

The fight, scheduled for eight rounds and streamed live on Netflix, will be contested in a larger 22‑by‑22‑foot ring, giving Paul room to use his movement while Joshua seeks to impose his size, experience, and power.

Joshua has described the bout as a chance to “save the purists of boxing,” while Paul insists he has been one of the most important figures in the sport over the past decade. Fans and pundits are deeply divided, with some predicting a stunning upset and others warning Paul faces a brutal test.

Promoter Frank Warren has confirmed that a potential Tyson Fury vs. Joshua fight next summer depends on tonight’s result, adding even more pressure to this high‑stakes matchup.
