Former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua is scheduled to fight YouTube personality-turned-boxer Jake Paul in a professional contest in the United States next month.
Matchroom Boxing announced the bout on Monday.
Joshua, 36, a former two-time unified heavyweight champion, will meet the 28-year-old American at the Kaseya Center in Miami in an eight-round, three-minute-per-round contest.
The fight serves as a replacement for Paul, whose planned exhibition match against lightweight boxer Gervonta Davis earlier this month was cancelled.
Paul last fought in November 2024, when he defeated former heavyweight world champion Mike Tyson in Texas.
Joshua, on the other hand, has been out of the ring since September 2024, when he was stopped by fellow Briton Daniel Dubois in their IBF world title clash at Wembley Stadium.
