After Mike Tyson, place for Anthony Joshua. Here is the high-sounding list of opponents of Jake Paul, YouTuber with tens of millions of subscribers turned boxer. After defeating Mike Tyson far, far from his best years (59 years old), Paul takes on a much fitter champion, Anthony Joshua (36 years old).
The Olympic champion (2012), former heavyweight world champion of the IBF, WBA and WBO, is logically the favorite against an opponent with limited experience. Especially since it makes him 13 cm and between 15 to 20 kg, depending on the weighing.
After a year of absence, this main event could therefore be a good way for the legend to relaunch himself. In Miami, Joshua also hopes to prove that he has regained all his qualities after surprise defeats and surgery. Otherwise he would not be able to claim to be on par with Tyson Fury, whom he dreams of facing.
The main card is scheduled to begin at 3 a.m. on the night of Friday December 19th to Saturday December 20th. The entire event can be followed on Netflix and on DAZN.
