## Summary

Jake Paul says he will return to boxing on 24 December, headlining a card in Dubai against an opponent yet to be confirmed. The announcement marks his first planned fight since Anthony Joshua broke his jaw, an injury that led Paul to question whether his career would continue.

The 29-year-old American had two titanium plates fitted and teeth removed after Joshua stopped him in the sixth round in Miami in December 2025. Paul has won 12 of 14 professional bouts, including seven by knockout; his other defeat was against Tommy Fury. Darren Till is among the names reportedly being considered, though no opponent has been announced.
