Joshua's 'forbidden options' in very real Jake Paul fight
The Independent
|December 17, 2025
Relax, this is not the apocalypse; the masses want a skirmish on Friday writes Steve Bunce in Miami, and they'll get one
They will come to Miami on Friday for a fight between Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul, and they will get a fight.
It is a real fight, just not a fair fight: Joshua will tower over Paul and have an advantage in weight of in excess of 40lb. I repeat: this is not an exhibition, fake or choreographed in any way. It is the exact fight Miami deserves, and it will offer sobering closure on another extreme year in the boxing business.
This is not the first time a David vs Goliath clash has featured in this sprawling city of lights, beaches, boats and myths. There was once a fight here in Miami between a boy and a man; the heavyweight champion was Sonny Liston, a man so feared that many experts expected death in the ring, and the wide-eyed, heart-pumping challenger was a kid called Cassius Clay. It was considered a terrible mismatch. The end of the sport, the scribes wrote.
