YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul’s decision to take on former two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua has many backing the Olympic gold medalist in the match-up, including UFC CEO and President Dana White.

UFC veteran reacts to Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua, calling the surprising matchup both brave and bad at once.

Paul (12-1, 6 KOs) and Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs) will wear the standard 10-ounce gloves used by heavyweights. Paul has competed in 10-ounce gloves for most of his career, excluding the unusual 14-ounce gloves used for his fight with "Iron" Mike Tyson. Against Davis, Paul was planning to wear 12-ounce gloves.

Francis Ngannou was one of four names approached by Paul’s manager as a replacement opponent for Gervonta Davis, who Paul won’t be fighting on Nov. 14 after a civil lawsuit was filed against the lightweight champion. Ngannou ultimately declined Paul’s offer to box before the end of the year, claiming the bout made absolutely ‘no sense’.
