Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua are about to clash in one of the most talked-about events in recent history.

Paul and Joshua will fight in a professional heavyweight competition over eight three-minute rounds in Miami.

YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul undoubtedly faces the toughest challenge of his career against the former two-time world heavyweight champion.

“AJ” has been out of the ring since: a devastating fifth-round knockout defeat to Daniel Dubois last September, and “The Problem Child” defeated Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. on points in June.

The 28-year-old was scheduled to fight Gervonta Davis on November 14, but the fight was canceled after Davis was accused of punching his ex-girlfriend in a civil lawsuit.

“AJ” cannot weigh more than 245 pounds, which is over seven pounds lighter than he weighed against Dubois.

Jarrell Miller shared his thoughts on the course of the blockbuster fight between Deontay Wilder and Derek Chisora.

Wilder will face Chisora ​​on April 4 at the O2 Arena and Miller has revealed who he thinks has the advantage.

April 4 marks the 50th fight of the careers of “The Bronze Bomber” and “Del Boy,” and the loser will likely retire.

Miller spoke to Up-to-date Betting Offers and honestly admitted that the threat from Wilder has diminished in recent years.

“Deontay’s skills deteriorated when he changed coaches.

“I feel like if Wilder stuck to his name, being a wild man and fighting wild and doing wild shit, he would still be a guy who is threatening.

“But when you try to tame the beast and become a boxer, he’s not a boxer. He’s never been through boxing the conventional way, and now you’re trying to change his style. It’s not working for him.

“Style makes fights, and Chisora ​​has a style that definitely hurts him.”

Before his trilogy with Tyson Fury, “The Bronze Bomber” had a staggering record of 40 wins, 39 of which came by stoppage.

However, he has emerged as a different fighter in recent years, looking timid in back-to-back losses to Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang on Riyadh Season shows.

He last appeared on the field in June 2025, when he stopped Tyrrell Herndon in the seventh round.

Miller continued and talked about the skills Chisora ​​possesses that could lead him to a huge victory in what he promises will be the last fight of his career.

“Chisora ​​is one of those guys who is so sturdy.

“He is very powerful mentally. He has a physically fit engine.

“He may look tired, but he can still fight. Deontay I can’t fight tired, not like this Chisora ​​yes.

“So I think Chisora ​​is in it. The best man wins, but I think Chisora ​​will get him.”

Chisora ​​is on a three-fight winning streak following his loss to Tyson Fury in 2022.

He went the distance in all three contests, scoring unanimous victories over Gerald Washington, Joe Joyce and Otto Wallin in the final stoppage.

On Sunday, Jai Opetaia will make his Zuffa Boxing debut in a fight against Brandon Glanton.

Opetaia enters the fight against Glanton undefeated.

Since turning professional in 2015, the Australian has dominated with 23 stoppage victories.

His last three fights have been in his native Australia, all three of them competitions ending before the start of the ninth round.

The Australian defeated former unified cruiserweight world champion Mairis Briedis in 2022.

Opetaia really made his mark on the world stage with a series of victories on the season’s card in Riyad, including victories over Ellis Zorro, Briedis in the return and Jack Massey, whose team were forced to throw in the towel.

His name has also made headlines after recently signing with Dana White’s Zuffa Boxing after years of working with Eddie Hearn and Matchroom Boxing.

Opetaia currently holds the IBF and Ring Magazine world cruiserweight titles.

Despite holding the IBF belt, he will not be on the line with Glanton as the pair will instead fight for the Zuffa Boxing cruiserweight crown.

Glanton comes into the competition off the back of a massive win over Marcus Browne last year in Lagos, Nigeria.

Before Browne’s victory, Glanton was outpointed by Chris Billam-Smith on the undercard of the Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn match at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Emanuel Navarrete vs Eduardo Nunez – results and post-fight report

Published

on

Emanuel Navarrete became the unified super featherweight champion, adding the IBF title to his WBO belt by defeating Eduardo “Sugar” Nunez in the penultimate round on Saturday at the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona.

The heavy-hitting Navarrete (40-2-1, 33 KO) was previously the WBO champion in three different weight classes, but he failed to claim the WBO lightweight title and belt in a fourth different weight class after losing a split decision to Denys Berinchyk. Nunez (29-2, 27 KO) had to go out of shape in the seventh round before claiming a wide points victory in his first defense against Christopher Diaz.

Nunez started by using his boxing skills rather than his trade, and used the move to cause his compatriot to miss in the first round.

Navarrete quickly adjusted, closing the gap with a powerful punch to end the streak of a wobbly Nunez delayed in the round.

Most expected “Sugar” to shoot, but he preferred boxing and worked his jab in the fourth round.

The 28-year-old then decided to change it in the fifth set and fought with fire, and in the sixth, Navarrete landed some great body shots and a powerful right hand.

Nunez gradually got into an argument, but had to take bulky fire from his opponent and bravely performed well in the eighth quarter, reducing the advantage and moving to the body.

“Vaquero” followed with a great left hand in the ninth and a powerful right followed by an uppercut that left Nunez at sea, eyes closed due to injuries.

The Sinaloa resident was re-attached to the left hook as the writing appeared on the wall.

Nunez now wilted under the pressure, and after a punishing 10th place his promoter Eddie Hearn he pleaded for the fight to be stopped and a ringside doctor was called to check his eye.

He recommended that the competition be stopped and the fight ended, crowning Navarrete the unified champion.

Vargas stops Quintana

On the card, Emiliano Vargas defended his WBO Latino and NABF super lightweight titles, forcing Argentine Agustin Ezequiel Quintana to retire after nine rounds of the fight.

Quintana (22-3-1, 13 KO) gave Vargas (17-0, 14 KO) all he could handle, but was cut down in both eyes, with referee Raul Caiz Jr waving his hand against the fight, much to the Argentine’s protests.

Smalls defeated by Ramos

Tahmir Smalls suffered his first defeat as a professional, losing a split decision to Abel Ramos in their welterweight meeting.

Ramos (29-7-3, 22 KO) earned a deserved victory by scores of 98-92 and 97-93, while the third judge awarded Smalls (16-1, 11 KO) a barely deserved nod 96-94.

Undercard remaining

WBC Continental Americas super bantamweight champion Arturo Cardenas (17-0-2, 9 KO) defended his title, but after ten rounds he drew with Jordan Martinez, who also remained undefeated.

Martinez (16-0-1, 15 KO) received a verdict of 98-92, Cardenas had one score of 96-94 and the third judge ruled it a draw 95-95.

The only fighter to go eight rounds won the super lightweight division, where Trini Ochoa (21-1, 9 KO) was upset by Oscar Alvarez Guerrero.

Guerrero (15-2, 12 KO) secured a comfortable winner with two scores of 78-74 and the third 79-73.

In six-round fights, Hector Beltran (7-0, 5 KO) fought all six sessions against Cesar Diaz (10-2, 5 KO) at super welterweight, and in the bantamweight division, Phillip Vela (5-0, 2 KO) did the same against Brayan Ramos Armenta (8-8-1, 2 KO).

Rahman Muhammad (2-0, 2 KO) defeated Mitchell McFadden (1-1, 1 KO) in the second round in a four-round welterweight fight.
