Boxing fans, mark the 19th of December on your calendars, it’s time for another highlight event!
Jake Paul is set to clash against Anthony Joshua on that day at the Kaseya Center in Miami. This will not be an exhibition match, so the two boxers will be going all-in to snatch a chunk of the massive $184 million fight purse.
Heavyweight Fight of the Year
This will be the professional heavyweight boxing match you don’t want to miss, especially if you bet on boxing. The fight is set to last a maximum of eight 3-minute rounds, and Netflix has secured the exclusive rights for the live broadcast.
And what a fight it will be!
On one side, it’s Anthony Joshua, two-time heavyweight champ and current no.1 heavyweight boxer with a 28–4 (25 KO) record. He is a mean, lean, punching machine, coming back from a 15-month hiatus to show “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.
Then, there’s Jake Paul. Eight years younger than his opponent, this YouTuber-turned-boxing star has been racking up high-profile fights one after another. He has a 12–1 (7 KOs) track record, including his recent wins against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr and legendary Mike Tyson. The younger, lighter, shorter, and less experienced fighter doesn’t lack the attitude, though:
When I beat Anthony Joshua, every doubt disappears, and no one can deny me the opportunity to fight for a world title.
The Heat Is on!
Of the two fighters, Paul is certainly the one who needs to prove more. He doesn’t have as much experience in the heavyweight leagues as Joshua, and even that one fight was against Mike Tyson, who was 59 years old and, expectedly, past his prime.
But what do the betting sites say? Unsurprisingly, the Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua odds are heavily in favour of the British boxer. Joshua is priced at barely 1.1 at most sportsbooks right now, while odds on Jake Paul winning are floating around 7.00 and higher.
Bookies are also expecting the match to end in a knockout, and Joshua is at 1.22 for knocking down Paul during the official time. All odds are in favour of the match ending earlier, but if you’re more adventurous, you can bet on the fight going the distance at 5.00 odds.
