Jake Paul has gotten under the skin of most since first arriving on the boxing scene in 2020.

The former YouTuber turned fringe cruiserweight contender has fought several former MMA fighters and a retired NBA player.

Paul has also sprinkled in a few fights against professional boxers well past their prime.

Despite not facing a championship-caliber boxer in his prime, Paul (12-1, 7 KOs) has said time and time again that he can beat some of the best fighters in the world.

Well, he will finally come face-to-face with one when he takes on Anthony Joshua in a main event Netflix will stream on Saturday from Kaseya Center in Miami.

Eddie Hearn, Joshua’s longtime promoter says he cannot wait for them to share the ring.

After spending years listening to Paul bloviate about his abilities, Hearn is convinced that Joshua is about to do everyone a favor.

Hearn says boxing does not have to worry, it is in good hands, adding Paul is going to get what is coming to him on Saturday.

In the the main supporting bout former MMA fighters Anderson 'Spider' Silva will face Tyron Woodley in a 6-Round Cruiserweight bout.

Alycia Baumgardner vs. Leila Beaudoin: Unified Super Featherweight World Champion bout.

Cherneka Johnson vs. Amanda Galle: Undisputed Bantamweight World Champion bout.

Caroline Dubois vs. Camila Panatta: WBC Lightweight World Champion bout.

Yokasta Valle vs. Yadira Bustillos: WBC Strawweight World Champion bout.

Avious Griffin vs. Justin Cardona: Welterweight.
