Netflix and Most Valuable Promotions have finalized the full fight card for the Anthony Joshua vs. Jake Paul show, streaming live on Netflix on Friday, Dec. 19th. The latest addition brings the opening fight on the main card: U.S. Olympian and amateur world champion Jahmal Harvey will face undefeated Kevin Cervantes in a six-round junior lightweight bout. Harvey is coming off a knockout win in his pro debut. The main card will also feature a women's championship bout, ALycia Baumgardner vs. Leila Beaudoin and two ex-mixed martial artists Anderson Silva vs. Tyron Woodley. Ahead of fight night, MVP and Netflix will host a full slate of free, public fight-week events in Miami, including an open workout,  press conference, and the official weigh-in.

 

Harvey (1-0, 1 KO) as a U.S. Olympian and amateur world champion, is one of the most decorated young boxers in the country. Introduced to the sport at 13, the Oxon Hill, Maryland native quickly rose through the junior and youth ranks, becoming a ten-time national champion. At just 18, he won gold at the 2021 Elite World Championships, the first American male to do so since 2007, and later added medals at the 2022 Continental Championships and the 2023 Pan American Games. Harvey competed in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, reached the quarter-finals, and signed with MVP ahead of his pro debut: a knockout win in August 2025. He is now age 22.

 

On the other side of the ring will Los Angeles–based Kevin Cervantes (5-0, 5 KOs), originally from Colombia. Cervantes arrives with a reputation for all-action aggression. He started boxing at 11 and built a deep 87-fight amateur career before turning pro. Cervantes has since finished every opponent he’s faced, most recently scoring a first-round TKO in September 2025. Known for a pressure-heavy style inspired by Roberto Durán, the 25-year old is trained by Oscar Negrete and managed by Rob Suarez. He now steps into his toughest test yet against U.S. Olympian Harvey.
