Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua: YouTuber-turned-fighter Jake Paul will face his toughest challenge yet when he takes on two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua on Friday night at the Kaseya Center, home of the NBA’s Miami Heat. Although the 36-year-old Joshua has not fought since September 2024, when he was knocked out by Daniel Dubois in five rounds, he will still enter the bout with Paul as the overwhelming favourite.
The 28-year-old Paul has victories over retired UFC champions Anderson Silva and Nate Díaz and also won a convincing decision against former middleweight titleholder Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. He also won by unanimous decision against the 58-year-old boxing legend Mike Tyson last year. But against joshua, he comes in as the definitive underdog.
In their photo standoff that closed Wednesday’s event, the 6-foot-6 Joshua towered over the 6-1 Paul. Joshua also has a six-inch reach advantage, 82-76. In addition, 12 of Paul’s bouts have been at the 200-pound cruiserweight limit. Joshua weighed 243 pounds at their Thursday weigh-in, while Paul was 216.
