- On Thursday, the official weigh-in confirmed Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua made weight at the Kaseya Center, streamed on MVP and Netflix Sports' YouTube channels.

- Joshua stands at 1.98m with an 82in reach, while Paul enters Friday's fight with a 12-1 pro record.
- All eight fighters on the Netflix main card made their contracted weight, though Kevin Cervantes, featherweight, initially missed before making weight on his second attempt ahead of his fight with Jahmal Harvey.
- Observers called it 'the strangest fight card of the year,' while Joshua drew criticism for saying `If I can kill you, I will kill you` and later clarified `That's my job, we fight,` as Paul vowed a late-round knockout.
