Former heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua and YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul take to the ring for their controversial bout this weekend.

The contest has a David v Goliath feel to it. Joshua's experience and physical attributes dwarf his American opponent, who has never boxed at elite level.

The eight-round fight in Miami marks the Brit's return to the ring for the first time since his defeat to Daniel Dubois in September last year.

Paul, meanwhile, followed up his win over 59-year-old Mike Tyson last year with a victory in June against 39-year-old Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, who looked a shadow of his former self.

The American is hoping to prove himself at the top level of the sport, while anything less than an early-round stoppage would be a major dent to Joshua's reputation.
