YouTube star turned professional boxer Jake Paul has announced his return to the boxing ring on December 24, 2026, in Dubai.
The 29-year-old American will headline a Christmas Eve boxing event, marking his first fight since losing to former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua in December 2025.
Paul suffered a broken jaw in two places during that fight and underwent multiple surgeries. His professional record currently stands at 12 wins and two defeats.
However, his opponent for the Dubai comeback fight has not yet been announced. Paul says several names are being considered, with further details expected in the coming weeks.
The event will mark Paul’s first professional boxing appearance in Dubai and comes as fans wait to see how he performs after his serious injury.
