Jake Paul is set to return to boxing on December 24 in Dubai, marking his first fight since a broken jaw suffered during his knockout loss to Anthony Joshua in December 2022. The 29-year-old American boxer will headline the Christmas Eve card, though his opponent remains to be confirmed. Paul, whose professional record stands at 12-2, faced his sixth-round knockout loss to Joshua in Miami, an injury that required multiple surgeries in December and February.
Despite the setbacks, Paul remains resolute, stating that nothing has altered his confidence or ambitions. He expressed his determination to return on December 24, signaling the start of a new chapter in his boxing journey. Paul hinted at a potential lineup of opponents, saying, "We've got plenty of names on the list; let's see who signs the contract."
With a professional record of 12 wins and only two losses, both against Tommy Fury and Joshua, Paul is clearly eager to reclaim his boxing prowess in the UAE.
