Anthony Joshua-Jake Paul Make Weight for Heavyweight Clash in Miami

Paul Nears Career-High Weight

Jake Paul tipped the scales at 216.6 pounds, the second heaviest of his professional career a sign of the size disparity he’ll face against the 6’6″ Joshua.

Still, the YouTuber-turned-boxer insisted throughout fight week that he welcomes the challenge of facing a true heavyweight star for the first time.

Bigger Ring, Standard Gloves

Friday’s fight will take place in a 22-by-22 foot ring, slightly larger than the standard 20-by-20 setup. The added space could favor movement and distance work, something both camps were aware of going into the negotiations.

Both fighters will wear 10-ounce gloves, standard for a sanctioned heavyweight contest.

With the weigh-in complete and both men looking sharp on the scales, all that’s left is fight night and one of the most unusual, high-profile matchups in recent boxing history.

It’s going to be very interesting to see if the bigger gloves will have an actual impact on this fight. We’ll see if any fighter can actually hurt each other.
