CROSSOVER BLOCKBUSTER: THE FULL TIMELINE OF JAKE PAUL VS ANTHONY JOSHUA DEAL
The controversial Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua heavyweight fight is happening on December 19. We break down the strange timeline, which includes leaked DMs and the collapse of the Gervonta Davis bout.
Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua went back and forth in 2025 before making a surprise fight deal.
Paul and Joshua are set for a controversial heavyweight fight on Friday, December 19.
The American has been working hard to get his shot at Joshua.
While many are worried about Paul's health taking on the former two-time heavyweight champ, he's staying sure of himself.
You might wonder how this fight happened, so StadiumNest is breaking down the timeline below.
How did it start?
Paul got things going by calling out Joshua on his podcast earlier this year.
He said, "I want to fight Anthony Joshua because I know I will beat Anthony Joshua's ass."
He doesn't have a chin, and he has no skill, and he is stiff.
I love you, Anthony, and we are friends. But I want to fight you.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer then shared that they had been talking behind the scenes about a possible fight.
In June, Paul leaked their private messages: It was all nice; we've been friendly.
[Joshua] DM'd me today saying LOL to one of my training clips, and then I sent him a LOL with a picture of him getting knocked out by Daniel Dubois.
So I guess we're trash-talking a bit behind the scenes. But I have a lot of love for Anthony Joshua.
I think this is funny, and he's a great guy, and I think a fight between us would be awesome, and I believe I can win.
Joshua then shared a screenshot of a phone call with 'The Problem Child,' writing '2026' with a zipped-lips emoji.
They seemed to have agreed to fight in 2026, as Paul was planning to meet Gervonta Davis in an exhibition match first.
What was stopping Paul vs. Joshua?
Paul and Joshua had some issues getting their fight done.
Turki Alalshikh's Ring Magazine said talks fell apart over the network since Joshua has a deal with DAZN.
It seemed their fight was off when Paul vs. Davis was announced, even though Joshua was in talks with the 28-year-old.
Joshua wanted to fight again, having been out of action since losing to Dubois in September 2024, so he looked for other options.
When the superstar's promoter, Eddie Hearn, was asked about his fighter's plan, he said, "I won't speak for him, but I don't think we will commit to that fight until Tank has fought him in November.
“We are not going to wait until November to make our move, so it is likely Anthony Joshua will fight in January or February against someone else.
“But Tank is Tank; who knows? They still have to make sure that the fight happens. We knew Jake would take a fight this side of the year, but it is what it is.”
As the options for the 36-year-old to fight this year got fewer, a surprise brought Paul back into the picture.
What changed?
Paul called off his fight with Davis when 'Tank' was accused of battery, aggravated battery, false imprisonment, kidnapping, and emotional distress.
He then released a list of potential opponents in November, with Joshua as a top target again.
While it seemed unlikely, it was reported that they were 'finalising terms' to finally fight before the new year.
The official announcement came days later, with the Kaseya Centre in Miami hosting the showdown.
Now, Paul and Joshua are lacing up their gloves to settle their beef live on Netflix this weekend.

JUST IN: LOGAN PAUL BREAKS SILENCE ON ESPN REGARDING JAKE’S FUTURE FIGHTING PLANS
After losing to Anthony Joshua, Jake Paul is pausing boxing to support Jutta Leerdam’s 2026 Olympic gold medal pursuit in Italy.
After his second loss, Jake Paul is switching gears in early 2026.
His business partner gave an update recently, saying that Jake should be back in the ring after he heals up from his broken jaw.
Even though MVP Nakisa Bidarian thinks ‘The Problem Child’ will fight next year, it sounds like the star has other stuff he's more focused on.
Even with folks suggesting matchups with guys like Conor McGregor, those fights don't seem likely. Jake even mentioned last Friday that he wants a break.
Now, his brother is saying it's not just about healing up.
Logan Paul shared some info on what Jake is up to in the coming months.
Logan Paul chilled with Anthony Joshua in the ring after watching his brother lose at the Kaseya Centre in Miami.
Jake has been pretty open about his injuries and how he's recovering after his first loss.
His brother, Logan, talked about Jake's next move on ESPN’s First Take.
Logan said he doesn't know exactly when Jake will be back in the ring, but spilt the beans on something else big that's coming up in Jake's life.
It's not just his jaw that's keeping Jake from getting back into fighting shape ASAP.
“I know for a fact we will see him back in the ring. I also know that his fiancée, Jutta Leerdam, is trying to win Olympic gold in speed skating in February. So, our family is really behind Jutta; she is the priority. If we can add an Olympic gold medalist to the family, the Pauls will be going nuts.”
Logan Paul thinks Jake Paul’s loss went ‘exactly as it was supposed to.’
Logan Paul thought Jake might surprise Anthony Joshua in the ring.
But on ESPN’s First Take, he said it's easy to get caught up in what his brother believes he can make happen.
“Logically, I think it went down as it should have,” Logan said. I don’t think many people thought Jake would beat Anthony Joshua.
“Being his brother and close to him, he has this strong conviction that makes you believe. He can bend reality into his vision, which makes you think he'll win. Still, I think the fight went completely as I expected.”
