Anthony Joshua adamant there are no hidden rules ahead of the Jake Paul showdown

Anthony Joshua is predicting a ruthless performance

Anthony Joshua vs Jake Paul actually looks like it is going ahead. Both men have weighed in - with Joshua making the 245 lbs limit that was put in place - and fire fight is scheduled to take place in just a few hours in Miami, Florida.

When the opening bell finally rings, we will quickly be able to discern the true nature of the contest; however, in the lead-up, there has been no shortage of scepticism and conspiracy theories surrounding any hidden rules or ‘scripts’ that may be in place for the showdown.

Speaking just days away from the clash, Anthony Joshua (28-4, 25 KO’s) has once again stressed that he is going in to do a thorough job on the American social media sensation.

"I'm not worried about what people think about the integrity side, I'm more worried about are they talking?" Joshua revealed to BBC Sport .

"That's the whole point of this fight. It creates conversation."

"He's got his groin guard on and his gum shield," Joshua said on Jake Paul (12-1, 7 KO’s). "That's the only safety he is allowed."

"I've never gone in there and knocked someone out within 10 seconds," he stated.

"There's a methodical process to knocking someone out. But if the opportunity presents itself, I'm not planning on carrying Jake for one second more than I have to."
