It’s nearly time to see if size matters as it pertains to Jake Paul taking on Goliath boxer Anthony Joshua. The weigh-ins for the Friday Netflix fight card took place Thursday, Dec. 18.
Size is one of the myriad storylines surrounding the bout that came together after the cancellation of Jake Paul vs. Tank Davis.
While the live-streamed event will take place later this evening at 6 p.m. ET, the media were allowed to view the official weigh-in this morning. So we do have some closure on the size of the main event participants.
Joshua comes into the ring bearing a clear height advantage, 6-6 to Paul’s more diminutive 6-1 frame. As for weight, the two-time heavyweight champion came in at 243.4 pounds, while Paul, expected to weigh closer to 220, tipped the scales at 216.
We will get an official glance at the discrepancy soon as the official weigh-in commences. USA TODAY Sports will have full coverage of the event.
