Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua: $40M Mega Fight in the Works for 2026 | Boxing's New Era Begins
Jake Paul BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Jake Paul is commanding headlines this week as talks for what could be the most remarkable fight of his career—against former unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua—move forward. His manager Nakisa Bidarian confirmed to Sky Sports and Bloody Elbow that the discussions are positive and that both camps see the blockbuster bout, which could be worth as much as 40 million dollars, happening as early as the start of 2026. The idea of Jake stepping in the ring with Joshua has infuriated boxing purists and even drawn public criticism from top fighters including Olympic gold medalist Tony Yoka, who told Box Nation he cannot believe Joshua would consider facing someone with Paul’s relative inexperience. Still, multiple outlets say Paul’s recent string of victories over big names like Mike Tyson and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. is making even the doubters take him seriously, with his team not shying away from a potential Wembley showdown in front of 90000 booing fans.
Meanwhile, Jake remains a force in both business and pop culture. His updated net worth is cited at 80 to 100 million dollars by The Mirror and Celebrity Net Worth, fueled not just by fight purses and pay-per-view, but also overflowing endorsement deals with DraftKings, Celsius energy drink—the official sponsor of his Netflix-broadcast Tyson fight—and fashion brands RNBO and BooHooman. His ventures stretch far beyond boxing, with startups like Most Valuable Promotions, the micro-betting app Betr, and the newly launched Walmart-exclusive men’s grooming line W showing that his business mind is as relentless as his left hook. According to St. Pete Catalyst, Paul’s ongoing efforts to grow boxing’s global reach include signing emerging champions, further cementing his status as both a disruptor and promoter.
On the personal front, Jake and his brother Logan are starring in the soon-to-drop reality series Paul American, with a Max and HBO debut set for next March. His engagement to Olympic speed skater Jutta Leerdam continues generating buzz, especially after his million-dollar proposal went viral on Instagram. Social media this week is also lighting up with boxing callouts; Anthony Dirrell publicly tagged Jake on Instagram, fueling speculation about future fights. Inside the ring, critics clash on whether he deserves his WBA Top 15 world ranking, but his disciplined climb—now 10-1 as a pro—and social media ubiquity prove the Problem Child has transformed himself from viral prankster to headline-generating athlete and entrepreneur, with no signs of the circus leaving town anytime soon.
