FIGHT WEEK IN MIAMI
WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT JAKE PAUL
Jake “El Gallo de Dorado” Paul spent the last five years transforming from a viral disruptor to a genuinely dangerous contender. The American pride of Puerto Rico has picked off names like Tyron Woodley, Anderson Silva, and Nate Diaz on his way up, stacking knockouts, shaking up expectations, and drawing some of the largest audiences the sport has ever seen.
Paul’s leap into the heavyweight ranks last year, with a win over Mike Tyson, was a global spectacle that shattered viewership records with 108 million people tuning in. In June 2025, Paul followed that momentum with a unanimous-decision victory over former world champion Julio César Chávez Jr., a performance that earned him a spot in the WBA cruiserweight rankings at No. 14.
“To all my haters, this is what you wanted. To the people of the United Kingdom, I am sorry.”

Alongside the fights, Paul has collected a surprising list of accolades: ESPN Ringside Knockout of the Year and Sports Illustrated Breakout Boxer of the Year. He even graced the cover of Sports Illustrated’s “50 Most Influential Figures in Sports” issue, which highlighted his push for fairer fighter pay, bigger platforms for young prospects, and expanded opportunities for women in the sport. Paul’s partnership with USA Boxing ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics underscored his mission: to help build the next generation while proving he belongs among the sport’s elite.

Now Paul will test all of that progress against one of the most feared heavyweights of the modern era.
“This isn’t an AI simulation. This is Judgment Day,” Paul says. “A professional heavyweight fight against an elite world champion in his prime. When I beat Anthony Joshua, every doubt disappears, and no one can deny me the opportunity to fight for a world title. To all my haters, this is what you wanted.”
WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT ANTHONY JOSHUA
Anthony “AJ” Joshua has spent the last decade building one of the most accomplished heavyweight résumés in modern boxing. After winning Olympic gold for Great Britain at London 2012, Joshua rocketed through the pro ranks, claiming his first world title in 2016 with a dominant stoppage of Charles Martin. A year later, he delivered the kind of career-defining moment fighters dream about: an unforgettable war with Wladimir Klitschko in front of 90,000 fans at Wembley Stadium that unified the division and cemented his place as the sport’s newest superstar.
Joshua went on to collect and defend the WBO, WBA, and IBF titles, turning Wembley into his personal home arena and racking up victories over Joseph Parker and Alexander Povetkin. His unbeaten streak ended in his 2019 US debut against Andy Ruiz Jr. at Madison Square Garden, but Joshua returned six months later in Saudi Arabia to win the rematch and become a two-time unified heavyweight champion.
“I’m about to break the internet over Jake Paul’s face.”

Even after setbacks, Joshua never shied away from elite competition. He scored a knockout of Kubrat Pulev, went 24 rounds with pound-for-pound great Oleksandr Usyk, and rebuilt under trainer Derrick James in Dallas. Then he returned to London for a wide points win over Jermaine Franklin. He followed that with a short-notice knockout of Robert Helenius, a dominant performance against Otto Wallin in Saudi Arabia, and a ferocious second-round knockout of Francis Ngannou — a finish that many considered 2024’s Knockout of the Year.

In September 2024, Joshua fought for the International Boxing Federation title again, facing fellow Brit Daniel Dubois. Now, still chasing his goal of becoming a three-time heavyweight world champion, he meets Jake Paul in Miami, bringing with him one of the most explosive knockout records of his era.
“Jake or anyone can get this work,” says Joshua. “No mercy. I took some time out and I’m coming back with a mega show. It’s a big opportunity for me. Whether you like it or not, I’m here to do massive numbers, have big fights and break every record whilst keeping cool, calm and collected. Mark my words, you’ll see a lot more fighters take these opportunities in the future. I’m about to break the internet over Jake Paul’s face.”
Here’s how it all went down.
