Here is what we know about Anthony Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs) vs. Jake Paul (12-1, 7 KOs) so far.
The fight between the former world heavyweight champion and the former YouTuber -- which had been rumoured for some time -- has now been confirmed.
When and where will Anthony Joshua fight Jake Paul?
Joshua and Paul will collide on Dec. 19 in Miami.
That's a Friday, unusually for Joshua. They will fight at the Kaseya Center, a 20,000-seat arena in Miami.
It will be only Joshua's second fight on American soil. The first was against Andy Ruiz Jr. in New York in 2019 which resulted in a shock first career defeat.
Joshua has only boxed in Britain and Saudi Arabia since.
Would Anthony Joshua vs. Jake Paul be an exhibition fight?
Categorically, no.
Promoter Eddie Hearn emphasised even before this fight was confirmed that Paul would have to fight Joshua under normal rules.
Joshua and Paul are fighting in a heavyweight bout, for eight rounds of three-minutes.
That's the shortest fight for Joshua in a decade, since his eighth career outing.
Joshua and Paul will wear 10-ounce gloves, the standard for heavyweight fights. But this is notably because Paul and Mike Tyson wore 14-ounce gloves when they met.
Will Anthony Joshua fight Tyson Fury?
The next phase of Joshua's career is about building towards fighting Fury. It would represent a culmination of this great era of heavyweight boxing in Britain.
The involvement of Saudi Arabia's General Entertainment Authority chairman Turki Alalshikh means Joshua vs. Fury can finally happen next year, Hearn says.
"The only person that's going to make that fight is Turki Alalshikh," Hearn previously told ESPN.
"That's the reality because the amount of money that Tyson Fury would and the way that that deal has to fall into place, he's perfectly placed and poised to make the fight."
He told talkSPORT on Thursday: "Next year, we will fight in February and then we will fight Tyson Fury if Turki Alalshikh delivers on his plans and strategies.
"We spoke with him in London this week. Everything that we do with Anthony Joshua will be in accordance with and under the guidance of Turki Alalshikh. He has given us amazing opportunities. And the game plan will be put together with him.
"It's Turki Alalshikh's responsibility to talk to Tyson Fury and try and make the deal. I can't tell you we're fighting Tyson Fury.
"What I can tell you is Turki Alalshikh has told us, 'I am going to make AJ v Tyson Fury. This is your deal. Do you accept?'
"We have accepted. Is the fight made? No. Because I don't know where he's at with Tyson Fury. All I know is he's yet to fail in delivering a fight."
However, ex-WBC champion Fury insists he will remain retired.
"I could go back to boxing at any given time but I just don't want to," Fury told YouTube channel FurociTV.
"I've got no interest or clamour for that limelight.
"You could offer me £1 billion today and it wouldn't move the needle, it wouldn't turn me on. Because I have gone past that point of caring about what people think."
