Jake Paul to Make Boxing Comeback in Dubai on December 24

Jake Paul, a 29-year-old American YouTuber-turned-boxer, announced his return to the boxing ring on December 24 in Dubai, nearly a year after his knockout defeat to former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua. Paul last fought on December 19, 2025, when Joshua stopped him in the sixth round during their heavyweight bout in Miami, resulting in a fractured jaw that required multiple surgeries.

In a post on X, Paul stated that the defeat did not diminish his self-belief or ambitions, expressing his eagerness to return to boxing. He mentioned that several potential opponents are being considered but did not disclose any names.

Paul, who has a professional record of 12 wins and two defeats, emphasized his determination to continue proving critics wrong and hinted at an exciting event for fans in Dubai. Further details, including his opponent, will be announced by his promotional company, Most Valuable Promotions, in the coming weeks.
