Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua will face off on December 19 in a sanctioned heavyweight bout.
YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul gets his wish of facing a legitimate and active boxing great in Joshua, having previously built his career on facing MMA fighters and journeymen fighters, before facing a long-retired Mike Tyson last year.
Joshua, a two-time unified WBO, WBA, and IBF heavyweight world champion and Olympic gold medalist, returns to the ring for the first time since losing to Daniel Dubois last year, and is expected to fight more expected opposition next year - including a long-awaited showdown with Tyson Fury.
But first, Paul is in his sights and the bookmakers are predicting an easy night for Joshua.
