On this episode of The Fighter and The Kid, Brendan Schaub and Bryan Callen break down the news that Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua is actually happening — and why this fight is way more dangerous than people think.

Brendan explains why Anthony Joshua is on a completely different level as a boxer, why the size and power difference matters, and why this matchup shouldn’t even be close. He also talks about why a loss wouldn’t hurt Jake Paul’s brand at all, but why a win would completely flip the boxing world upside down.

They get into why Jake Paul’s past opponents don’t compare, what real heavyweight power looks like, how this fight even came together, and why this is the moment the Jake Paul experiment gets truly tested.
