Jake Paul's Christmas Eve comeback fight in Dubai will reportedly not be shown on Netflix
Paul's opponent for his first fight since Anthony Joshua broke his jaw is still to be named, with Darren Till reported as the most likely.
Jake Paul's comeback fight in Dubai on Thursday 24 December will not be shown on Netflix, the New York Post's Erich Richter has reported.
Paul has not yet named his opponent. Multiple reports have Darren Till as the most likely, and Nakisa Bidarian, Paul's partner at Most Valuable Promotions, has said Till was among the fighters the team had been speaking to. Till has said he is waiting for the contract.
It will be Paul's first fight since last December, when Anthony Joshua stopped him in the sixth round and broke his jaw. Paul has a record of 12 wins and two defeats, with seven knockouts.
MMA Mania linked the decision to a restructuring at Netflix, where Ted Sarandos fired chief content officer Bela Bajaria and head of film Dan Lin.
