VIDEO: Anthony Joshua Vs Jake Paul – Preview & Prediction

That has not happened yet at this late hour, but still many insist that Paul will withdraw. Other fans loudly proclaim the belief that the only way this fight could possibly happen is if there is some secret non-disclosure agreement that will ensure that Joshua takes it easy on Paul.

The fight is scheduled for 8 three minute rounds, with 10 oz gloves. A further stipulation prevents Joshua from weighing over 245 pounds. None of these stipulations should be a problem for AJ. Quite the contrary, 10 oz gloves is something that works in his favor, 8 rounds as opposed to 10 or 12 is of no consequence, and AJ should not have any problems getting below 245. He has weighed less than that throughout most of his professional career, despite coming in a bit higher than that in recent years.

Paul was originally scheduled to face Gervonta Davis in November. Davis is a 135 pound lightweight. Instead, Paul will now square off against a powerhouse heavyweight in the form of Anthony Joshua, an elite level heavyweight and former two-time world champion. Making matters even more bizarre is the fact that Paul has only really faced one true heavyweight boxer to date, and that was 58 year old Mike Tyson. Meanwhile, The Ring Magazine recently announced that a long overdue showdown between AJ and Tyson Fury is being planned for a Riyadh Season card in 2026, where each man is expected to have a tune-up next year, which would mean one additional fight for AJ after Paul.
