Jake Paul will fight former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua this Saturday at Miami’s Kaseya Center in Florida. The bout features eight three-minute rounds with 10-ounce gloves, becoming one of the most talked-about events in global boxing circles. For Joshua, it offers momentum after his last knockout loss and a lucrative payday opportunity toward a career resurgence. 

Paul was originally expected to fight Gervonta Davis, but the matchup collapsed due to allegations leveled against ‘Tank.’ This led the way for Anthony Joshua to step in instead. The massive size difference between the fighters has raised serious questions among fans regarding safety and unfairness. 

Heading into the fight, Joshua is the clear fan favorite, with many predicting a brutal knockout victory on Saturday. However, the former heavyweight champion claims different intentions, promising complete destruction of Paul inside the ring.

If I can break his soul, and I can break his mentality, then I’ve broken Jake. It’s not just physical, I’ve got to take your soul in the ring. You can just see a small glimmer of someone that’s just about to start fading, and then you just keep exploiting that…until some people give up. Some people get knocked out. I want to break him down spiritually and mentally.

The fight’s weight cap has been agreed at 245 pounds, marking the first time Anthony Joshua will limit his weight. Jake Paul, on the other hand, has no official weight restriction, though he is expected to weigh around 220 pounds. Joshua has recorded 25 knockout victories in his professional career, showcasing his elite power across multiple championship-level fights.

However, Joshua has been knocked down on several occasions, most recently suffering a knockout loss to Daniel Dubois. Jake Paul has openly discussed exploiting those vulnerabilities, claiming Joshua’s past knockdowns reveal defensive gaps he intends to target. The YouTuber turned boxer has promised to shock everyone, finish AJ, and silence his doubters

Experts such as Demetrious Johnson have also weighed in, surprisingly backing Paul to defeat Anthony Joshua via knockout. Paul undeniably carries finishing power, having stopped several opponents, proving his punches can change fights quickly when opportunities arise.

Nevertheless, he failed to knock out durable opponents like Nate Diaz, Anderson Silva, and boxing legend Mike Tyson, raising questions about consistency. It remains intriguing whether Paul can overcome those doubts and deliver a massive upset against elite heavyweight Anthony Joshua. 

Fight fans react to Anthony Joshua’s recent warning towards Jake Paul 

During the recent sitdown, Anthony Joshua mocked Jake Paul by calling him a YouTuber, though Paul didn’t take it it as an insult. The ‘Problem Child’ responded confidently, stating YouTubers often earn more than boxers and insisted that he transcends labels as an entrepreneur globally. Over subsequent years, Paul has improved significantly, impressing multiple experts who credit his courage in accepting a fight with Joshua publicly.

To prepare for Joshua’s strength, Paul trained with heavyweights extensively, aiming to simulate size, pressure, and durability in daily sessions. However, Ryan Garcia recently claimed those heavyweight sparring sessions went badly, alleging Paul was beaten up repeatedly during training camps.

Garcia further warned that ‘The Problem Child’ could face identical punishment against Joshua this Saturday inside the ring. Following those comments from the veteran fighter, fans have expressed serious concern regarding Paul’s safety against such elite opposition. Here are some notable comments on X.

As expected, many fans highlighted how dangerous this matchup appears for Paul against a proven heavyweight like Anthony Joshua. Others argued the entire situation could simply be a gimmick, designed for both fighters to secure massive paychecks. Experts, including former champion Deontay Wilder, have also expressed doubts, questioning whether the controversial fight might be scripted.
