Quick Summary

Jake Paul is set to return to boxing on Christmas Eve in Dubai after breaking his jaw during a fight against Anthony Joshua last year. The opponent for the upcoming bout has not been confirmed but potential fighters include Darren Till and KSI. There are no current broadcast plans with Netflix, which streamed two of Paul’s previous fights, as speculation suggests they might reduce their involvement in live sports events. DAZN PPV is a likely platform for this fight if Netflix does not sign on.

Story summary

Jake Paul, the YouTuber-turned-boxer, announced he will return to boxing on December 24, 2026, in Dubai. This fight comes nearly a year after he suffered a broken jaw against former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua. Paul's record stands at 14-2 (7 KOs), and while the opponent has yet to be confirmed, Darren Till is being considered among other names like Chris Eubank and YouTuber KSI. Despite two defeats in his last three fights—against Tommy Fury and Joshua—Paul remains confident about his comeback. Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) is handling the event organization, but there's no confirmed broadcast deal as Netflix might be exiting live sports events after firing its Chief Content Officer earlier this month.

🔮 They’re both rated pretty much even in terms of DVOA, coming in at No. 17 in DVOA (No. 11 on offense, No. 25 on defense), while the Packers are No. 18 (No. 23 on offense and No. 4 on defense). So no, Micah Parsons is not active, but that really isn’t stopping them. Had Josh Jacobs not returned for the Packers, I’d be all in on the Over, and likely would have had some bets targeting the Over on both Christian Watson and Matthew Golden’s receiving yards. I’m still bullish on them overall, but Jacobs’ return allows Green Bay the option to run the ball much more.
