How to watch Jake Paul-Joshua Anthony: Streaming info, start time, betting odds

This will be Jake Paul’s biggest fight yet — literally.

“The Problem Child” returns to the boxing ring for a showdown with Anthony Joshua on Friday night, with the former heavyweight champ standing at 6-foot-6 and 243 pounds to Paul’s 6-foot-1 and 216.

Paul didn’t have much time to trade his usual barbs with Joshua as the 36-year-old Brit stepped in after Gervonta Davis’ legal issues prevented him from taking part.

Not that Paul hasn’t pushed his usual brand of bravado when given the chance.

“The odds are stacked against me,” Paul, 28, said Wednesday in the fighters’ final media appearance before the bout.

“There are no sporting teams in history that have gone together where it’s this big of a difference in terms of skills, experience, resume, height, weight. This is going to be the biggest upset in the history of sport and you guys get to witness it.”

He’ll have his work cut out for him against Joshua, the two-time heavyweight champ who enters as a favorite despite not having fought since 2024. 

“It just seems I’ve been called in to save the purest of boxing,” Joshua said. “People don’t like the fact that I’m fighting Jake. Whether that concerns me or not is another question. If we look at the people that don’t want me to be here, they want me to put an end to the Jake Paul show. That’s why I have to carry boxing on my back with this fight.”
