"This is not an AI simulation. This is doomsday. A professional heavyweight match against an elite world champion in his prime. To those who hate me, this is what you wanted. To the people of Britain, I'm sorry. On December 19th, the British Goliath will go to sleep," writes YouTuber Jake Paul in a statement.

Joshua, who has not fought since 2024, said in a statement that the fight is a great opportunity for him.

This summer, after winning over Julio César Chávez Jr., Paul named a number of potential opponents for future fights, including Anthony Joshua and Swedish boxer Badou Jack.
