Story summary

Jake Paul, the YouTuber-turned-boxer, announced he will return to boxing on December 24, 2026, in Dubai. This fight comes nearly a year after he suffered a broken jaw against former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua. Paul's record stands at 14-2 (7 KOs), and while the opponent has yet to be confirmed, Darren Till is being considered among other names like Chris Eubank and YouTuber KSI. Despite two defeats in his last three fights—against Tommy Fury and Joshua—Paul remains confident about his comeback. Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) is handling the event organization, but there's no confirmed broadcast deal as Netflix might be exiting live sports events after firing its Chief Content Officer earlier this month.
