Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua fight preview

Jake Paul's professional boxing career was widely regarded as a novelty when he first switched podcasts for pugilism in 2020, but a pro boxing record of 12-1 has earned him growing respect.

Anthony Joshua was the world heavyweight champion as recently as 2021 and at 36 years of age he is 23 years younger than Mike Tyson, who Paul beat in Texas 13 months ago.

Joshua, the super-heavyweight gold medallist at the 2012 London Olympics, has a 28-4 professional record with 25 wins by KO and has been in the ring with the likes of Wladimir Klitschko, Joseph Parker and Oleksandr Usyk. His most recent fight was a defeat by Daniel Dubois for the IBF heavyweight title at Wembley in September 2024.

Paul's only defeat in his career came against a British fighter when he lost in a split decision against Love Island star Tommy Fury in Saudi Arabia in February 2023.

This contest against a far more recent top-level fighter than he has faced before is a huge test for Paul but it makes for a fascinating match-up in Miami on Friday night.

Take a look at what our boxing expert, Graeme Rodway, has to say in his Paul vs Joshua predictions.
