Jake Paul's gearing up for a December 19 bout against Anthony Joshua, pulling out all the stops in an effort to level the playing field. Although many see this as one of the most uneven matchups ever, Paul plans to use mind games to claw back some advantage.
Paul announced an intriguing twist: his promotion company, Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), signed Caroline Dubois to fight on the same card. As Daniel Dubois' sister and the reigning WBC female lightweight champion, her involvement adds an interesting angle. It's a savvy move by Paul who hopes that associating with Joshua's last conqueror will unsettle him.
Joshua's previous tense moments stem from a loss via fifth-round knockout against Daniel Dubois in September 2024. Surely aware that these mind games might fall flat, Paul still holds out hope for their effectiveness. However, MVP continues to bolster its lineup with top-tier talent like Amanda Serrano and Alycia Baumgardner joining alongside Caroline Dubois.
The controversial fight is poised to be a financial triumph but raises questions about Paul's safety facing a seasoned contender like Joshua. Despite doubts about the outcome or impact of mind games, viewers expect gripping bouts and plenty of drama.
