What are the rules for Joshua vs Jake?
Good question, and the first thing to say is that this is an official sanctioned boxing match – no exhibitions.
The fight is scheduled for 8 x 3-minute rounds, and both men will wear 10oz gloves.
There is a clause in the contract regarding Joshua’s weight – he cannot be more than 245lbs (17st 7lbs) when the two men weigh in for the fight on Thursday December 18 in Miami.
It is three years since Joshua weighed 245lbs or less – you have to go back to his rematch loss to Oleksandr Usyk in Saudi Arabia in 2022.
