The heavyweight fight between Jake Paul and former world champion Anthony Joshua is set after the official weigh-in took place on Thursday. Both fighters took the scale at noon ET at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach.<\/p>\n
Kaseya Center, the home of the NBA\u2019s Miami Heat, will host the bout, with Netflix streaming it worldwide<\/a>. The British fighter couldn\u2019t weigh more than 245 pounds, something he achieved.<\/p>\n Paul weighed in at 216.6 pounds, while Joshua came in at 243.4 pounds, the lightest he has been since September 2021, when he took on Oleksandr Usyk for the first time.<\/p>\n As per usual, Paul\u2019s fights include slight changes. This time, the ring will be bigger, at 22-by-22 feet (the standard is a 20-by-20-foot ring). They will wear 10-ounce gloves, the standard for heavyweight fights.<\/p>\n Paul campaigned in the heavyweight category in November 2024. He beat the legend Mike Tyson in an eight-round bout at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. His next fight was against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. at cruiserweight. Paul beat the Mexican fighter by unanimous decision in a 10-round fight at Honda Center in Anaheim, California.<\/p>\n Joshua was once one of the most promising heavyweights in the world. After Andy Ruiz upset him in 2019, he struggled to be as dominant as before. His most recent fight ended in a fifth-round knockout against Daniel Dubois in September 2024 at Wembley Stadium in London.<\/p>\n Paul enters the ring with a 12-1-0 (7 KO\u2019s) record, while Joshua boasts a 28-3 (25 KO\u2019s) record. The event will start at 8 PM ET on Friday.<\/p>\n Full Card:<\/p>\n MAIN EVENT: Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua<\/p>\n Alycia Baumgardner vs. Leila Beaudoin<\/p>\n Anderson Silva vs. Tyron Woodley<\/p>\n Jahmal Harvey vs. Kevin Cervantes<\/p>\n PRELIMS (4:45 p.m. ET\/1:45 p.m. PT on YouTube)<\/p>\n Cherneka Johnson vs. Amanda Galle<\/p>\n Caroline Dubois vs. Camilla Panatta<\/p>\n Yokasta Valle vs. Yadira Bustillos<\/p>\n Avious Griffin vs. Justin Cardona<\/p>\n Keno Marley vs. Diarra Davis Jr.<\/p>\n \u2014 Enjoy free coverage of the top news & trending stories on The Big Lead <\/a>\u2014<\/p>\n NFL: 10 teams with the best chance to win the Super Bowl after Week 15<\/a><\/p>\n CFB: College football passing yards leader set to enter NCAA transfer portal<\/a><\/p>\n MLB: Phillies lose former All-Star to $2 million contract in free agency<\/a><\/p>\n ENTERTAINMENT: Longtime ESPN, NBC sportscaster expected to launch Senate bid<\/a><\/p>\n SPORTS MEDIA: Jason Kelce gets candid on Travis Kelce\u2019s potential retirement after Chiefs\u2019 playoff elimination<\/a><\/p>\n
