A great look to get things going.

The fight literally had just started, and Jake Paul was already bouncing away from Anthony Joshua.
He appeared to know what he might be in for pretty much immediately.
Less than five seconds had ticked off the clock when Paul was doing everything he could to back away from Joshua in the larger-than-usual ring.
Have a look:
Jake Paul already looked exhausted as soon the fight started đ

One of the main unusual aspects of this fight is the weight. Joshua entered much heavier than Paul.
In this case, that could lead to a lot more impactful power for Joshua, and a lot tougher time for Paul to really make a dent in the reverse direction.
It makes sense that Paul would want to avoid hits from Joshua, particularly in the early going.
It just doesn't make for a great visual of a fight at all.
