Anthony Joshua looks to ‘end the boxing career’ of Jake Paul in Miami, Florida, propped up by an undercard featuring Alycia Baumgardner and UFC royalty.
The controversial eight-round main event is professionally sanctioned and a dangerous step up for Paul, who boasts wins over the likes of Anderson Silva and Tyron Woodley — the two former MMA champions who face off earlier on the show — but has always had at least one key advantage in his bouts. That is not to be the case tonight. While ‘AJ’ may be past his highest peak, the two-time unified heavyweight champion remains a force to be reckoned with in the sport’s premier division.
Will Paul look to run and survive? Will Joshua’s confidence slip if he doesn’t score that much-discussed early knockout? How careful will the third man in the ring be when it comes to stepping in and stopping the action?
