"Jake Paul's unlikely turn from YouTube influencer to one of the biggest attractions in boxing continues on Friday when he steps inside the ring with his toughest challenge to date, former two-time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua. Unlike in Paul's previous fights, he will not have a size, skill, experience or significant age advantage against the 2012 Olympic gold medalist."
"Few expect him to last more than a couple of rounds against Joshua, much less beat him. However, Paul has made a habit of silencing his naysayers by winning fights and putting on spectacle events. Heading into his clash with Joshua, ESPN spoke to Paul (12-1, 7 KOs) about all of his professional fights and ranked each of them based on his performance, quality of opposition (considering his experience at the time of the fight), how the outcome affected his progression as a boxer"
