Jake Paul returns to boxing on Thursday, December 24, 2026 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates to receive the MVP.
No opponent has been named and MVP has yet to secure a streaming partner for the December 24 fight card, but the bookies BetOnline.ag immediately posted odds for UFC veteran Darren Till. “El Gallo” opened as -200 betting favorite against +153 For “Gorilla”.
“I’ve spent years proving people wrong, taking risks and pushing myself against opponents no one thought I’d face,” Paul said. “Nothing that’s happened has changed my belief in myself or what I’m working towards. I’m hungrier than ever and on Thursday 24th December I’ll be back in Dubai to start the next chapter of my journey. Dubai is a city that thinks big, breaks boundaries and doesn’t believe in limits. It’s exactly the kind of place I want to come back to a lot. Let’s see who signs, Santa Paul comes to town and someone kicks out.”
