Anthony Joshua, Jake Paul and the rise of influencer boxing

The fight between Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul in Miami is arguably the biggest fight of its kind. Other similar profile bouts involving Paul have seen the former Disney star take on the likes of ex UFC fighter, Nate Diaz, and the then 58-year-old former boxing heavyweight World Champion, Mike Tyson. The fight in Miami, however, is a professional fight sanctioned by the Florida Athletic Commission.

Joshua tells Ade Adedoyin that he respects Paul for choosing to step in the ring with him but has rejected suggestions he'll attempt to carry the American to give the public a show. Paul says the British boxer is stiff and it is he who is the better boxer.

Mikaela Mayer - a three-weight world champion - explains to Maz Farookhi why Paul could surprise a few people and may one day be considered a boxing pioneer by introducing the sport to new audiences.
