The fight will be his first since Anthony Joshua broke his jaw in two places.
Jake Paul is heading back to the ring. The 27-year-old has booked a Christmas Eve fight in Dubai, his first bout since Anthony Joshua broke his jaw in two places in their last meeting.
The return comes almost a year to the date after that loss, which left Paul sidelined while he recovered from the injury. Details on an opponent and a streaming partner for the Dubai card are still being worked out, with the broadcast situation reportedly in question.
Paul called the comeback his "next chapter," signaling he intends to keep building his boxing career rather than step away after the Joshua defeat. The Dubai date gives him a high-profile stage to try to put the loss behind him, though no opponent has been confirmed yet.
More details, including the matchup and broadcast plans, are expected to be announced as the December date approaches.
