Jake Paul has annoyed plenty of people since breaking into boxing in 2020 from fighters to promoters to fans who view him as more showman than contender. Now, the former YouTuber turned fringe cruiserweight is stepping into the most dangerous matchup of his career.
On Friday night at the Kaseya Center in Miami, streaming live on Netflix, Paul (12-1, 7 KOs) will finally meet a true elite boxer in Anthony Joshua, the former two-time unified heavyweight champion. And Eddie Hearn, Joshua’s longtime promoter, believes Paul is about to pay for years of bold claims.
Hearn: “Boxing Doesn’t Have to Worry… He’s Going to Get What’s Coming to Him”
After listening to Paul repeatedly insist he could beat some of the best fighters in the world, Eddie Hearn says he’s thrilled the talk is over and the moment of truth has arrived.
