Jake Paul seeks rematch with Anthony Joshua

Jake Paul, a former YouTuber turned professional boxer, is reportedly looking for another chance to fight Anthony Joshua, a former two-time world heavyweight champion, according to his promotional partner Nakisa Bidarian. This comes after Paul suffered a broken jaw during their scheduled 10-round bout in December 2025, which ended in the sixth round when Joshua landed a right hand to Paul's chin.

Joshua's dominance in the fight

At the time of the stoppage, Joshua led all three judges' scorecards 50–43, showing his superiority during the five rounds of the fight. Paul underwent two surgeries to treat his injury, and doctors advised him to retire from professional boxing. He has not fought since that loss, but a return to the ring is planned for the day before Christmas.

Joshua's next fight against Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua is set to face his long-time rival, Tyson Fury, on December 11 in Cardiff, Wales. Bidarian, who co-founded "Most Valuable Promotions" with Paul in 2021, was asked if Paul would consider fighting the winner of this match. He said Paul wants a rematch with Joshua but would also be willing to face Fury if needed.

Paul's mindset after the injury

Bidarian mentioned that he recently spoke with Paul as they prepared for his return. They discussed how serious injuries can make fighters hesitant to commit to future fights. However, Paul reportedly said that the broken jaw did not bother him as much as expected. He described the injury as a shock but not a severe pain and expressed a stronger desire to return to boxing than ever before.

Paul's record and upcoming fight

Jake Paul has a record of 12 wins, including seven knockouts, and two losses. His other loss came in 2023 when he lost by split decision to Tommy Fury after eight rounds. Paul's next fight is expected to be announced in November. He is currently in active training, waiting for an opponent to be finalized, with Bidarian hoping to make an announcement within the next two weeks.
