Anthony Joshua vs Jake Paul fight card, undercard and start times

Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua will be the main attraction when they clash on Friday night in Miami, but there are plenty of exciting fights on the undercard

Jake Paul will attempt to pull off one of the biggest shocks in boxing history this week when he takes on Anthony Joshua.

YouTuber Paul, who has only been boxing for less than six years, will take an enormous step up in class against the former two-time heavyweight world champion. Paul has never been in the ring with someone of Joshua’s class with his toughest fight coming against Tommy Fury two year ago, a fight the social media star lost on points.

Joshua will be confident of an easy night with the Brit expected to dispatch in under two rounds. But although the main event might be over quickly, there are plenty of tantalising fights on the undercard which could steal the show in Miami. Here is everything you need to know about the entire fight card…
