Jake Paul has received harsh advice to dismiss his advisors just weeks before his upcoming fight against Anthony Joshua. The newcomer to boxing has shown significant progress since turning professional in 2020, mostly facing former UFC stars in the ring. Despite notable victories over Anderson Silva, Nate Diaz, and Tyron Woodley, Paul’s only defeat was against Tommy Fury in 2023.
Primarily a cruiserweight, Paul will step up a weight class for his upcoming bout with Joshua. However, he does have some experience in the heavyweight division, evidenced by his dominant win over heavyweight legend Mike Tyson in November 2024.
Concerns have been raised about Paul’s well-being leading up to the fight, with many advocating for the cancellation of the match. British heavyweight sensation Moses Itauma expressed his apprehensions about the scheduled bout set for December 19.
The highly anticipated clash between Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul is scheduled for Miami on December 19, with the fight streaming live on Netflix. It is available for free with Sky’s £15 Essential TV bundle, marking the brand’s lowest price for Sky TV.
Itauma criticized the fight, urging Paul to consider the potential consequences before proceeding. Despite the criticism, Itauma remains focused on his own upcoming fight against Jermaine Franklin on January 24 in Manchester.
The 20-year-old boxer is determined to prove himself in the ring and silence any doubts about his abilities. Itauma sees the fight as crucial for his development and is eager to showcase his skills on fight night.
Joshua and Paul’s clash in Miami is set to take place just before Christmas, with the fight likely to commence around 11 pm local time, translating to 4 am in the UK. The event will be broadcast live on Netflix, subject to potential time changes based on the undercard duration.
