Jake Paul Books Dubai Return After Joshua Loss

Jake Paul has scheduled his boxing return for Dec. 24 in Dubai, according to ESPN, almost exactly one year after he suffered a broken jaw in his loss to Anthony Joshua.

Jake Paul has scheduled his boxing return for Dec. 24 in Dubai, according to ESPN, almost exactly one year after he suffered a broken jaw in his loss to Anthony Joshua.

The bout marks Paul's first appearance since the Joshua defeat, which forced him out of action for an extended stretch. No opponent has been announced for the Christmas Eve card.

Paul described the upcoming fight as the start of a "next chapter" in his career, per ESPN's report. The Dubai event will test whether the YouTuber-turned-boxer can rebuild momentum after the Joshua loss halted his progression in the sport.

The December date puts Paul back in the ring during a typically quiet period for boxing's major promotions. Details on broadcast plans and undercard bouts have not been revealed.
