It’s officially Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua fight week! One of the most unique fights in the sport pits a YouTuber-turned-boxer against a former multi-time heavyweight champion.
Paul will showcase his skills at the open workouts at LIV Nightclub. Will he troll everyone, or show he’s taking Joshua seriously? Also at the open workouts will be Joshua, Alycia Baumgardner, Anderson Silva, and Cherneka Johnson.
Outside regular workouts, the likes of Shannon Courtenay, Nat Dove, and Luan Medeiros will be in action, acting as the appetizer before the main show.

MVP Showcase 2 highlights
6:58 p.m. ET: Leila Beaudoin channelges Alycia Baumgardner for the unified super featherweight titles. She walked down to the ring with confidence, while everyone else is scrambling over the Crawford news
6:40 p.m. ET: Harvey is more of a football fan than a boxing one. He likes the likes of Floyd Mayweather and Vasiliy Lomachenko.
6:35 p.m. ET: In shocking news, Terence Crawford just announced his retirement from boxing. A great leaves his gloves in the ring. Now, the real question is simple: Is this a Tyson Fury “retirement” where he comes back for more money, or a shoot one?
