Jake Paul Reveals Nose Injury in Video From Sparring Before Anthony Joshua Fight

Jake Paul is making sure he's ready to take on a heavyweight boxer ahead of his bout with Anthony Joshua.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer revealed a nasty nose injury he got from sparring boxer Frank Sánchez while training for the fight against Joshua.

Paul said that during his intense training, his nose has taken a handful of shots.

"I'm not gonna lie, sparring the heavyweights, my nose has moved a couple of millimetres this camp," Paul said.

While the heavy hits might cause Paul some pain in the weeks leading up to the fight, it will help him prepare for Joshua, who agreed to weigh no more than 245 pounds at the weigh-in ahead of the Dec. 19 fight.

And Joshua isn't going to take it easy on Paul despite having some size on him.

"I know the expectations and demands these fans have," Joshua told TMZ Sports. "And I respect it. If I didn't respect it, I'd be honest with you and say, 'No they're talking rubbish,' but I do. I do get it because I hold myself in that same regard, so I need to [KO Jake] and that's my intention, to seek and destroy."

While Joshua will look to make the most of his size, Paul will look to take advantage of it by tiring him out.

"I think it's going to be a very tough fight for multiple rounds, but then when I figure out his pacing, his style, his speed, his footwork, he's going to get a little bit tired trying to chase me around, and then I'm going to set up the shot," Paul said. "I'm not going to say exactly what, but I see what it is and I think it will end in the fifth or sixth round."

The two boxers will face off live on Netflix on Dec. 19 at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida, in what is sure to be the toughest fight to date for Paul.
