As Anthony Joshua v Jake Paul is announced, when is the fight and what is their net worth?

An exhibition match between the two has been scheduled, more than a year since Joshua last fought in the ring.

Joshua, 36, has been absent from the boxing scene since losing to Daniel Dubois at Wembley in September 2024 in their IBF title bout. Meanwhile, Paul has been taking part in a series of exhibition matches, including a fight against 58-year-old Mike Tyson last year.

Paul’s last fight saw him claim a unanimous decision win over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr in June and he had been set to take on Gervonta Davis this month before a civil lawsuit filed against the WBA lightweight champion saw that fight cancelled.

Joshua, who suffered a fifth-round knockout at the hands of Dubois, said: “Jake or anyone can get this work. No mercy. I took some time out and I’m coming back with a mega show.

“It’s a big opportunity for me. Whether you like it or not, I’m here to do massive numbers, have big fights and break every record whilst keeping cool, calm and collected.

“Mark my words, you’ll see a lot more fighters take these opportunities in the future. I’m about to break the internet over Jake Paul’s face.”
