Jake Paul and former heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua are set to clash in the boxing ring on Friday night in Miami, marking one of the biggest tests of Paul’s professional career. The YouTuber-turned-boxer will step into the ring against an opponent with significant size and experience advantages.
Joshua stands five inches taller than Paul and outweighs him by nearly 30 pounds. The British boxer is a two-time heavyweight world champion and an Olympic gold medalist, widely regarded as one of the dominant figures in the division over the past decade.
Unlike Paul’s previous bout against a former champion nearing retirement, this contest pits him against a 36-year-old still close to his prime. Joshua, who last held heavyweight titles in 2021, represents Paul’s toughest opponent to date.
