The reality is Anthony Joshua on Friday night will step into a professional heavyweight boxing ring for the first time since an awful night.
Not just a knockout defeat last year.
A punch that literally sent him into a different time zone in a picture above (not slowed down – a real shot of his face).
It was the perfect counter right hand from Daniel Dubois that he walked Joshua onto to win the IBF heavyweight title last year.
Out of any heavyweight title fight of the 21st century, we cannot recall a one that had such a devastating punch as the above.
Anthony Joshua Comes Into Jake Paul Fight Off The Back Of The Worst Heavyweight Knockout Of The 21st Century
Sparring is sparring but on fight night in front of the bright lights no one knows how he will react.
That is the truth.
What’s more, all the pressure is on him, he is expected to win.
No pressure on Jake Paul at all this week — who’s brand will grow regardless.
Much more risk on the line for Joshua on the other hand.
Particularly with talks of a Tyson Fury fight next year and more as well
