Boxing enthusiasts are on edge today as social media star turned boxer Jake Paul is set to make a significant announcement at 2pm, sparking rumors that his anticipated fight with heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua may be in jeopardy.
The upcoming clash between the two fighters in Miami next Friday has garnered criticism due to Paul’s leap in opponent quality, transitioning from ex-MMA fighters to a former unified world champion.
