Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua are about to clash in one of the most talked about events in recent history.
Paul and Joshua will fight in a professional heavyweight contest over eight, three-minute rounds in Miami.
Paul, the YouTuber-turned-boxer is undoubtedly facing the toughest challenge of his career against the former two-time heavyweight world champion.
‘AJ’ has been out of the ring since a devastating fifth round knockout loss to Daniel Dubois last September, while ‘The Problem Child’ overcame Julio Cesar Chavez Jr on points in June.
The 28-year-old was supposed to have fought Gervonta Davis on November 14, but the bout was scrapped after Davis was accused of hitting an ex-girlfriend in a civil lawsuit.
‘AJ’ cannot weigh in any heavier than 245lbs, over seven pounds lighter than he weighed against Dubois.

Paul vs Joshua – What Has Been Said?
“It’s a massive mistake to look past me,” Paul said at the first press conference.
“I’m putting a stop to all those plans – don’t book flights or hotels.
“I’m knocking this guy out, becoming the CEO of Matchroom Boxing, changing the plans, and it’s going to be me against Tyson Fury next year.”
