Jake Paul received harsh advice to part ways with his advisors just before his upcoming match against Anthony Joshua. The aspiring boxer has made significant progress in the sport since turning pro in 2020, often competing against former UFC stars like Anderson Silva, Nate Diaz, and Tyron Woodley. Despite his success, Paul suffered a defeat at the hands of Tommy Fury in 2023.
Primarily a cruiserweight, Paul will step up a weight class for his bout with Joshua, although he has some experience in the heavyweight division. Notably, he secured a resounding victory over heavyweight legend Mike Tyson in November 2024.
Concerns have arisen regarding Paul’s well-being leading up to the fight, with some critics calling for the event’s cancellation. British heavyweight Moses Itauma criticized the matchup scheduled for December 19 in Miami.
Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul are set to face off in a heavyweight showdown, which will be live-streamed on Netflix. Itauma expressed his worries about Paul’s decision-making, emphasizing the importance of weighing the risks associated with the fight against Joshua.
While Itauma disapproved of the Paul-Joshua fight, he remains focused on his own upcoming match against Jermaine Franklin in Manchester on January 24. The undefeated boxer is determined to prove his critics wrong and showcase his skills in the ring.
The anticipated clash between Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul in Miami on December 19 will take place just days before Christmas. The fight is expected to start around 11 pm local time, catering to the American audience. Viewers can watch the event live on Netflix.
