The specific date being considered is December 19 or 26, 2025, to provide sufficient preparation time for both fighters.
The selection of this month is expected to attract public attention later in the year.
Miami, United States, has been selected as the venue for this major fight.

Background and Previous Fight Cancellations
Jake Paul was originally scheduled to face Gervonta Davis on November 14, 2025, at the Kaseya Center in Miami.
However, the fight was canceled after Davis was withdrawn from the card.
This cancellation followed allegations of domestic violence filed by his ex-partner.
Following the cancellation, Jake Paul's team immediately sought a replacement opponent.
Several big names were mentioned, including Ryan Garcia and undisputed super middleweight champion Terence Crawford.
However, negotiations with Anthony Joshua were ultimately expedited and an agreement was reached.
For Anthony Joshua, this fight is a chance to return to the ring after his stoppage loss to Daniel Dubois in September 2024.
Promoter Eddie Hearn stated that Joshua wants to fight again before the end of 2025.
Joshua sees this fight as a warm-up before a potential big fight against Tyson Fury in 2026.
