No Fear’ as Safety Concerns Shadow Paul vs Joshua Clash
Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul are set to face each other on Friday in Miami in a professional heavyweight boxing contest that has already ignited widespread attention and intense debate across the boxing world.
While the bout has drawn massive global interest, it has also raised serious safety concerns—particularly regarding Jake Paul’s readiness to face a former two-time world heavyweight champion. Critics have questioned whether the fight reflects the evolving standards of modern boxing, where crossover fighters and influencers increasingly share the ring with seasoned professionals.
Despite the scrutiny, both camps have dismissed fears surrounding the matchup. Joshua has remained calm and professional, while Paul has projected confidence, insisting he is unafraid and prepared for the challenge. Promoters argue that strict medical protocols, licensing requirements, and regulatory oversight ensure fighter safety.
The clash has reignited conversations about the commercialization of boxing, the role of celebrity fighters, and whether spectacle is beginning to outweigh tradition in the sport. Regardless of the concerns, the fight is expected to attract a massive audience and could mark a defining moment for both athletes.

The First Lady of the Republic of Sierra Leone, alongside her husband, hosted the Annual Presidential Dinner for the Security Sector 2025, bringing together key personnel across the nation’s security institutions in recognition of their service and sacrifice.

The dinner provided an opportunity to pause, reflect, and appreciate a year of tireless work that often goes unseen, yet profoundly benefits the nation. As the year draws to a close, the First Lady expressed hope for continued unity among security institutions, stronger institutional support, and peace within the homes of those who serve.
She encouraged attendees to take a moment to relax, enjoy the meal, and share fellowship with colleagues, acknowledging the demanding nature of their responsibilities.
