Ever since YouTube star Jake Paul first stepped into the ring, boxing fans have wanted to see him take on a legitimate opponent. On Friday night at Miami’s Casea Center, they finally got their wish.
Paul (12-1, 7 KOs), who usually fights at lightweight, has stepped up against heavyweight Anthony Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs). Joshua is a two-time unified heavyweight champion and Olympic gold medalist. On the surface, it appears to be a complete mismatch — something that has already raised some doubts about the legitimacy of the match.
