Overview

  • The full undercard is set, featuring Anderson Silva vs Tyron Woodley and a co-main event with unified super‑featherweight champion Alycia Baumgardner defending against Leila Beaudoin, plus multiple women’s title fights.
  • At the Miami kickoff, Jake Paul vowed a knockout and said he aims to face Tyson Fury in 2026, while Anthony Joshua warned he would "break his face" and stressed he is treating the match seriously.
  • Joshua revealed he will not be trained by Ben Davison for this fight and has been working in Spain with Oleksandr Usyk’s team.
