Jake Paul’s Dec. 24 boxing return set for Dubai as opponent remains unnamed

Jake Paul is scheduled to box in Dubai on Dec. 24, 2026, while the identity of his opponent remains undisclosed.

Most Valuable Promotions lists the matchup as Paul versus an unnamed opponent on its event page. The same listing identifies Dubai as the host city and places the main card’s start at 9 a.m. local time.

Sky Sports separately described the booking as Paul’s Christmas Eve boxing return. At the time of that report, Sky Sports said no opponent had been announced.

MVP also announced that Paul will headline the Dubai event on Dec. 24, 2026. The promotion identifies the appearance as Paul’s first professional fight in Dubai.

The event details establish the date, city and planned card start, while the opposing boxer remains absent from the listing. The official page does not provide a named opponent; instead, that part of the matchup remains open. For viewers tracking the return, the listed schedule points to a 9 a.m. local-time main-card start. Paul’s next bout is therefore listed for Dubai on Dec. 24, with the opponent still pending.
