Jake Paul to return to boxing in Dubai on December 24

Jake Paul will fight for the first time since Anthony Joshua broke his jaw in December 2025, headlining a card in Dubai on Christmas Eve against an opponent yet to be confirmed. The 29-year-old, who had titanium plates fitted after the bout, says he is hungrier than ever. Paul has won 12 of 14 pro fights; former UFC fighter Darren Till is reportedly being considered.
