Jake Paul has received harsh advice to dismiss his advisors just prior to his upcoming bout with Anthony Joshua. The emerging boxer has shown significant progress in the sport since turning professional in 2020, primarily facing former UFC stars in his matches. Despite notable victories against Anderson Silva, Nate Diaz, and Tyron Woodley, Paul’s only loss came against Tommy Fury in 2023.
Although typically a cruiserweight, Paul will step up a weight class for the showdown with Joshua. Notably, he has some experience in the heavyweight division, having secured a dominant win over Mike Tyson in November 2024. Concerns have been raised about Paul’s well-being leading up to the fight, with many critics calling for its cancellation.
The highly anticipated heavyweight clash between Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul is scheduled for December 19 in Miami. The fight will be live-streamed on Netflix, accessible to fans through Sky’s £15 Essential TV bundle, offering their “lowest ever price” for Sky TV.
Moses Itauma, a prominent British heavyweight sensation, expressed strong opinions about Paul’s upcoming fight, emphasizing the need for Paul to consider the risks involved. Itauma, who is preparing for his own match on January 24 against Jermaine Franklin, remains focused on proving himself and silencing any doubts surrounding his career.
Joshua and Paul are set to battle it out in Miami on December 19, just days before Christmas. The fight is expected to take place around 11pm local time, translating to 4am in the UK. Fight times may vary depending on the undercard matches and are geared towards the American audience. The event will be broadcast live on Netflix.
