The so-called titanic Netflix fight between Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul takes place tonight.<\/p>\n
Former two-time world heavyweight champion Joshua, 36, ends his 14-month hiatus from the ring by fighting the 28-year-old American, posing the biggest and most dangerous challenge of Paul\u2019s career.<\/p>\n
The bout, to be fought at Miami\u2019s Kaseya Center, will not be an exhibition but rather a professional contest, meaning the result will go on each man\u2019s record and a knockout is possible. <\/p>\n
Joshua comes into the bout off the back of his stoppage loss to Briton Daniel Dubois in September 2024, while Paul was due to face Gervonta Davis until a civil lawsuit against the WBA lightweight champion scuppered that proposed 14 November exhibition fight. <\/p>\n
\u201cJake or anyone can get this work, no mercy,\u201d said Joshua in a press release. \u201cWhether you like it or not, I\u2019m here to do massive numbers, have big fights and break every record while keeping cool, calm and collected. Mark my words, you\u2019ll see a lot more fighters take these opportunities in the future. I\u2019m about to break the internet over Jake Paul\u2019s face.\u201d<\/p>\n
