Jake Paul faces an enormous new challenge. On Friday, two-time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua tests Paul’s resilience against a larger, more decorated boxer with athleticism to spare. Paul vs. Joshua headlines Netflix’s latest boxing card from the Kaseya Center in Miami.Paul, to his credit, is fighting an uphill battle on Friday. The social influencer-turned-boxer made strides in the fight game by targeting the most popular opponents whom he had the greatest physical advantages over, namely, in terms of size, age, or both. Standing across from Paul on Friday is former heavyweight champ Joshua: a stronger, bigger, more powerful, and far more experienced foe. Joshua admits that anything short of a swift victory would be a failure on his part.The undercard features more fighters from under the Most Valuable Promotions banner. That includes recent signing Alycia Baumgardner, who looks to defend her unified junior lightweight titles against Leila Beaudoin in the co-main event.

Plus, former UFC champions are set to clash when Anderson Silva, 50, battles Tyron Woodley, 43, at cruiserweight.
