When is the fight?

I imagine this is the burning question for a lot of you.

When I found out that I was going to be covering this spectacle, little did I know how far into the depths of the night it would take place.

Where I am in the UK, it is currently just past 1.30am, and we are expecting both Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua to begin their ring walks by 3.30am.

In Miami, where teh fight is taking place, it will be 10.30pm when the fighters emerge for the fight.

Two hours seems far away, but this build-up will fly by… I’m telling you.

Madness in Miami

The time has come.

Never in my life did I think I would be rocking up to my keyboard and typing about a two-time heavyweight champion of the world getting in the boxing ring with a YouTuber and social media star.

Well, here we are. When Anthony Joshua was knocking out people for fun in his early professional career, Jake Paul was doing dances and skits on Vine (RIP). Now they are about to go toe to toe in Miami.

Whether you think this should be a fight or not, it is, and we are now just two hours from seeing these two stars do battle between the ropes.

It’s going to be a bonkers night, whatever happens.
