Jake Paul is set to face Anthony Joshua in a boxing match on December 19 at the Kaseya Center in Miami. The fight comes after Paul's initial opponent, Gervonta Davis, faced accusations of domestic violence, leading to Joshua stepping in as the replacement.

Paul, a YouTuber turned boxer, initially planned to fight Davis but called working with him an "absolute nightmare" due to several issues, including a lack of professionalism and legal troubles. As tensions rose, Paul referred to Davis as "human garbage," sealing the fate of their bout.

Anthony Joshua accepted the challenge from Jake Paul shortly after it became clear that Davis was out. The announcement caught many by surprise but quickly gained traction among fans eager to see how this unlikely matchup will unfold. The fight's [official announcement](https://www.netflix.com/title/80014749) found its way onto Netflix’s platform, adding another layer of spectacle.

By embracing this opportunity against Joshua, Paul continues his controversial yet headline-grabbing foray into the boxing world. Meanwhile, discussions about other potential replacements like Ryan Garcia and Edgar Berlanga were sidelined once Joshua entered the spotlight.

Boxing enthusiasts now eagerly await December 19 for what promises to be an intriguing encounter in Miami.
