Today in Miami, USA, the highly anticipated boxing match between former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua and vlogger Jake Paul will take place. Their meeting will be the main event of the boxing evening organized by promoter Nakisa Bidarian and the company "Most Valuable Promotions."
The head of Oleksandr Usyk's team, Sergey Lapin, was asked how Joshua, the former opponent of the Ukrainian, joined their team. He shared that good relations had been established with Anthony, and they invited him to the training camp in Valencia before the fight with Paul. "I can't say too much about the preparation, but the fight will provide the answer," Lapin noted.
An interesting aspect of the match lies in the legal disputes currently ongoing between Jake Paul and American boxer Deontay Wilder. Paul plans to sue Wilder for, in his opinion, defamatory statements. Wilder allegedly accused Paul of staging the upcoming fight with Joshua. Jake Paul emphasizes that their match will be real, and all previous fights have been as well.
The live broadcast of the fight can be watched on the streaming service "Netflix," for which an active subscription is required. Briton Joshua, who last appeared in the ring in September 2024, was defeated by Daniel Dubois. Jake Paul in June of this year defeated Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. from Mexico by unanimous judges' decision.
The main card of the show will start at 03:00 Kyiv time, and Joshua and Paul's entrance to the ring is expected around 07:00.
