Joshua, Paul reach agreement over 2026 bout

By Daily Sports Nigeria on September 24, 2025

Nakisa Bidarian has revealed that Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua are still set to fight, despite numerous setbacks.

Paul and Joshua were believed to be in advanced talks, with a date pencilled in for the pair to clash in early 2026.

Although the Ring Magazine reported in August that they were facing difficulties with broadcasting rights, due to the Brit having an exclusive deal with DAZN.

Shortly after that, the announcement came that Paul would be meeting Gervonta Davis in an exhibition bout instead of fighting Joshua.

As the YouTuber-turned-boxer now gears up to meet Davis on November 14, the promotional tour began on Monday night in New York.

Despite it being the launch press conference for the bout between Paul and Davis, questions were unsurprisingly circulating regarding the former’s plans to fight Joshua.

Most Valuable Promotions’ co-founder, Bidarian, confirmed to assembled media that a fight between the rivals is still on the cards.

Bidarian reiterated: “We have an agreement in principle.”

After a Seconds Out host furthered the questioning to clarify what he meant by that, Bidarian responded: “To fight each other.”

Paul made it clear that this would still be the case, after he took to social media to reveal his plan to first ‘kill David’ and then ‘slaughter Goliath’.
