Ryan Garcia casts doubt on the likelihood of the anticipated heavyweight match between Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua happening as scheduled. The bout is set to occur on December 19 in Miami, featuring an eight-round fight with 10oz gloves. Paul’s last fight was a decision win over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr in June, while Joshua has been inactive since his knockout defeat to Daniel Dubois in September 2024. Despite their upcoming clash, Garcia expressed skepticism following a face-off between the two fighters, citing size differences that he believes will hinder the fight from taking place.
In response to Garcia’s skepticism, Jake Paul retaliated, criticizing Garcia’s recent fights and questioning his credibility. Paul, whose bout with Gervonta Davis was canceled due to legal issues, had expressed interest in fighting Garcia, but DAZN, the streaming service, did not allow the switch in platforms.
The highly anticipated fight between Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul is scheduled for December 19 in Miami, with live streaming available on Netflix. The clash is expected to take place around 11 pm local time, likely around 4 am in the UK, with the event subject to any changes based on the undercard duration.
