The Kaseya Center is ready, the main event is here, this should be fascinating.

The unknown, the mystery, the controversy, we get clarity in the next few minutes.

“Yes [his career is on the line],” Lennox Lewis says. “He’s got to get rid of Jake Paul, there’s something about Jake Paul that makes him feel positive, but when he gets in the ring and feels a heavyweight punch, he’ll be on his bike.”

While Andre Ward adds: “What’s supposed to happen is complete domination, the hand closest to Jake Paul, make him feel the power jab, then you come with the big right hand and send a message that I’m an elite fighter and you’re not.”
