Jake Paul has received harsh advice to dismiss his advisors shortly before his upcoming bout with Anthony Joshua. The boxing newcomer has shown significant progress in the sport since turning professional in 2020, primarily competing against former UFC stars. While he has secured victories against Anderson Silva, Nate Diaz, and Tyron Woodley, his only loss in the ring was to Tommy Fury in 2023.
Despite being a natural cruiserweight, Paul is preparing to step up a weight class for his showdown with Joshua. Notably, he has previously showcased his skills in the heavyweight division by defeating the legendary Mike Tyson in November 2024.
Concerns have been raised about Paul’s well-being leading up to the fight, with many criticizing the matchup and suggesting its cancellation. British heavyweight talent Moses Itauma expressed strong opinions on the controversial event scheduled for December 19.
The highly anticipated clash between Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul is set to take place in Miami on the same day. The fight will be available for live streaming on Netflix, accessible for free with Sky’s £15 Essential TV bundle, which is currently the lowest price offered for Sky TV.
Itauma’s critique of the fight notwithstanding, he remains focused on his own upcoming match on January 24 in Manchester against Jermaine Franklin. The unbeaten 20-year-old is determined to prove himself and silence his critics in the ring.
Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul will square off in Miami on December 19, just ahead of Christmas. The fight is expected to commence around 11pm local time, translating to 4am in the UK, catering to the American audience. The event will be broadcast live on Netflix.
