AJ'S ENDGAME ON THE GLOBAL STAGE

AJ's legacy won't be tarnished by this tawdry circus but he must be quick and merciless in beating cocky Paul... and then give us Fury blockbuster

EARLIER this week in Miami, there was a face-off between Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua. Only it wasn't a face-off because Paul only came up to Joshua's chest.

And for some reason, Paul stuck out his stomach, making it look like he had a paunch bigger than his punch. Which, to be fair, would not be hard. Regrettably, Joshua doubled down on his “if I can kill you, I'll kill” comments, going on about having “a licence to kill”.

And when he had a break from his knockabout behaviour, Paul said: “I’m ready. I want his hardest punches. I want there to be no excuses when it’s all said and done. And let's f***ing kill each other.”
