The boxers have been weighed, they have chirped and bloviated. Now the only thing left is to see what Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua give us in the ring.
What has been a long and winding road to Miami culminates in Paul's greatest test to date. The polarizing pugilist who has pecked away at over-the-hill boxers and also-rans will step into the ring against a boxer who comes in taller, heavier and with respectable accolades on his resume.
Anthony Joshua is a two-time heavyweight champion who stands 6-6 and, for this fight, will weigh north of the 243.4 pounds he posted Thursday. He also owns a 28-4 record, including 25 wins by knockout.
By comparison, the sheet is not as favorable for Paul (12-1, 7 KOs), who stands 6-1 and tipped the scales Thursday at 216 pounds, lighter than he was vs. Mike Tyson (227.2). But, perhaps, size and age and wisdom don't matter in this bout. We will know very soon.
