Anthony Joshua is reportedly poised to end his 14-month ring hiatus with a last-minute fight against YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul. The former world heavyweight champion has not fought since his fifth-round stoppage defeat to British rival Daniel Dubois last September.

Jake Paul might be answering all of his critics on one night. The social media star turned boxer has been accused of feasting on a diet of older, smaller non-boxers in his lucrative fighting career, but on a Friday night in Miami next month, Paul could take the biggest gamble of his career.

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul are in line for bumper pay days if negotiations over a proposed fight next month end positively. The former heavyweight world champion looks set to end his 14-month hiatus outside the ring with a last-minute fight against YouTuber-turned-boxer.
