À propos de cet audio
Jake Paul continues to dominate combat sports headlines as he prepares for what may be the biggest fight of his career. The YouTuber-turned-boxer is gearing up to face two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua on December 19th in Miami at the Kaseya Center, with the match streaming live on Netflix.
In his most recent training camp developments, Paul has brought in three elite heavyweight sparring partners to prepare for the Joshua showdown. According to ESPN, the fighters joining his camp are Jared Anderson, Frank Sanchez, and Lawrence Okolie. Anderson holds an 18-1 record with 15 knockouts, while Cuba's Sanchez is 25-1 with 18 knockouts. Okolie, a former WBO cruiserweight and WBC bridgerweight champion from Britain, expressed his motivation for helping Paul, stating he wanted to give the YouTube star a realistic sense of fighting a world-class heavyweight before facing Joshua, who stands 6-foot-6 with a 245-pound weight restriction for the bout.
Paul's record currently stands at 12-1 with 7 knockouts, making this eight-round heavyweight contest his most serious challenge yet. Joshua brings formidable credentials at 28-4 with 25 knockouts, creating a stark contrast between an internet personality and a legitimate championship-caliber boxer.
The fight has already generated significant buzz beyond the ring. TMZ Sports recently featured former heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz discussing the matchup, drawing parallels to his own stunning upset victory over Joshua in June 2019. Ruiz offered advice to Paul on how to potentially defeat the British fighter, suggesting that an upset victory is possible despite Joshua's superior experience.
Celebrity commentator Joe Rogan has been far less optimistic about Paul's chances. According to MMA Fighting, Rogan warned that Joshua plans to be devastatingly effective in the ring, expressing skepticism about Paul's ability to compete at such a high level.
The promotional machine surrounding this event is in full swing. A Netflix poster has already been released and generated considerable discussion online, with industry observers noting it represents a hard launch of what some are calling "banterweight" boxing—a new category exemplifying the unconventional matchup.
From a financial perspective, Paul continues to capitalize on combat sports opportunities. His yearly earnings are estimated at 13.6 million dollars according to Forbes, with most of his recent income flowing from boxing rather than social media ventures. His net worth currently sits at 100 million dollars, positioning him just behind his brother Logan.
The December 19th event represents a pivotal moment in Paul's boxing legitimacy, attracting tens of millions of viewers and positioning him for either a career-defining victory or a humbling defeat.
