'Hungrier than ever' - Paul to return on 24 December

Jake Paul will return to the ring for the first time since losing to Anthony Joshua against a yet to be confirmed opponent on 24 December.

American Paul had two titanium plates fitted and some teeth removed after Joshua broke his jaw during their heavyweight bout in December 2025.

The 29-year-old influencer said in May that his boxing career was "most definitely" in doubt.

Paul will headline a card in Dubai on Christmas Eve, with several names understood to be in contention to be his opponent.

"I've spent years proving people wrong, taking risks, and pushing myself against opponents nobody thought I'd face," Paul said.
