Let’s talk about the mismatch on paper. Anthony Joshua is a former two-time heavyweight champion. He’s fought Wladimir Klitschko, Andy Ruiz, Oleksandr Usyk. Jake Paul fought a retired NBA player and a 50-year-old Mike Tyson.
But Jake Paul is 30 pounds lighter and 12 years younger than Joshua. He also moves like a startled cat. That’s the quirk: speed vs. power, youth vs. experience, internet fame vs. Olympic gold.
One of them is about to make a very expensive mistake—or pull off the biggest upset since Buster Douglas. Either way, we’re watching for the memes and the mayhem.
