Good game plan so far from Jake Paul.
Paul v Joshua
Nakisa Bidarian, who co-founded Most Valuable Promotions with Jake Paul, gets to his feet and raises one finger as the bell rings at the end of the round.
He thinks Paul has taken the first round.
Not sure about that.

How long can Paul run?
Paul connects with a double jab but Joshua closes off the angles and launches an attack. He doesn't land clean but it's a warning for Paul.

The ring size benefits Jake Paul. He needs to stay on his toes and avoid Joshua's jab.
Paul v Joshua
It's a 22-by-22-foot ring - bigger than usual - and Paul is making use of that extra real estate from the first bell.
Paul skips from side-to-side as Joshua tries to walk him down.
The crowd gasp as a big swinging Joshua hook just misses.
Paul tries to clinch and they both fall to the canvas.

Paul v Joshua
A touch of gloves and the fighters return to their corners.
Remember knockouts are allowed, we will have eight, three-minute rounds.
This is really about to happen.

Well, it is happening. I do hope AJ knocks the child out of boxing.

How on earth has it come to this?

This feels like a lot of hype and build up, it's not a world title fight. Just get on with it.

Paul v Joshua
Anthony Joshua has been consistent in saying he's taking this fight seriously and he looks in the zone as he paces around the ring.

Trainer Joe Gallagher summed it up perfectly, saying the boxing world will have their stopwatches out to see how long it takes Anthony Joshua to knock Jake Paul out.
Every minute - maybe every second - this goes on only ramps up the pressure on Joshua. On paper, this should be over very quickly.

Size him up round 1, knock him out round 2. Joshua wins, nonsense over!

Paul v Joshua
Tekashi 6ix9ine is a controversial choice in truth. He was sentenced to two years in prison in 2019 for crimes he carried out while he was a member of a violent gang.

Jake Paul is leaning into his American audience and wearing a Hulk Hogan-style outfit.
He's with rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine.
A lot more energy to this entrance.

He's followed by Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn who has gone full Miami Vice in a white suit.
Paul v Joshua
Anthony Joshua is first to walk to the ring wearing a camo-style vest and shorts.
This is just the second time he's fought on American soil and it didn't end well last time when he lost against Andy Ruiz.
It takes him about 20 seconds to walk to the ring. Wonder if the fight will last longer?
Image source, Getty ImagesOh no it hasn't!
