Overview
- The Netflix-streamed bout at Miami's Kaseya Center is a scored exhibition at a 195-pound catchweight with three judges.
- Knockouts are permitted and Paul has teased a stoppage bonus, though the result will not count on either fighter’s record.
- Fighters will wear 12oz gloves as a safety tweak given the pronounced size gap between the natural cruiserweight Paul and the lightweight titleholder.
- An AI judge will have its scores factored into the official result for the first time, alongside two human judges.
- The event was relocated from Atlanta after Georgia regulators raised concerns, and Paul has publicly said he is scared and losing sleep as he spars with Shakur Stevenson.
