Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul will meet in the ring tonight in one of the most surreal fights in boxing history.
Yes, it is happening. Britain’s two-time heavyweight champion Joshua takes on boxing’s disruptor-in-chief, the man who has been relentlessly calling out the sport’s biggest names for the last five years.
Paul, who has lost one of his 13 professional bouts, eased to victory over a 58-year-old Mike Tyson last year.
But Anthony Joshua is a very different sort of challenge. When Paul was still starring on the Disney Channel nine years ago, Joshua was picking up his first heavyweight world title. He has been one of the sport’s biggest names ever since.
Joshua hopes to become a three-time world champion in 2026. Paul hopes to halt those plans tonight by delivering what would surely be the biggest upset in boxing history.
