Jake Paul announces comeback fight in Dubai, no opponent named yet, with bookies favoring Darren Till.
Jake Paul is set to return to boxing on December 24, 2026, in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, according to Yahoo Sports.
This comeback fight marks Paul's return after a year-long absence following a broken jaw sustained in a bout against Anthony Joshua, which required multiple surgeries.
The event will be promoted by MVP, but no official opponent has been announced yet. Bookmakers at BetOnline.ag have posted odds favoring Darren Till as a potential opponent.
Paul expressed confidence and hunger for the fight, highlighting Dubai as a fitting location for his comeback due to its ambitious and boundary-breaking reputation.
MVP's co-founder and CEO Nakisa Bidarian stated that they are finalizing an opponent worthy of Paul's return and will share more details in the coming weeks.
Paul's professional boxing record stands at 12 wins and 2 losses, including victories over notable fighters from boxing and MMA.
The promotion has yet to secure a streaming partner for the fight card scheduled on Christmas Eve.
