Jake Paul Challenges Anthony Joshua to a Boxing Match After Victory Over Mike Tyson in Heavyweight Bout

Jake Paul is at it again, making waves in the boxing world with a bold new challenge.

After stepping up to heavyweight and securing a win over the legendary Mike Tyson, the YouTuber-turned-boxer has now set his sights on Britain’s Anthony Joshua.

Paul didn’t hold back in his criticism, claiming that Joshua is lacking in both chin strength and skill.

Paul’s Bold Claim About Joshua’s Abilities

Paul, who has already racked up 12 professional fights, most of them against MMA stars, confidently stated that he could easily defeat Joshua.

During an episode of his podcast, BS w/ Jake Paul, he said, “I want to fight Anthony Joshua because I know that I will fing beat Anthony Joshua’s a.

He doesn’t have a chin, he has no skill, and he’s stiff.”

While Paul threw in some friendly words, acknowledging their past friendship, he made it clear that he’s ready to face off with the former two-time heavyweight champion.

A Surprising Call-Out After Friendly Encounters

Paul’s challenge is even more shocking considering that he and Joshua were photographed together just last year, enjoying a paintball outing.

Despite this friendly history, Paul insists he wants to test himself against one of the top heavyweights in the game, believing that Joshua’s recent loss to Daniel Dubois last September has left him vulnerable.

Paul’s Ambition to Face the Best

Jake Paul isn’t shy about his ambition. Earlier this year, he nearly agreed to fight boxing superstar Canelo Alvarez, and he was also linked to a potential showdown with Gervonta Davis.

After Davis’ recent draw with Lamont Roach in New York, a rematch seems likely.

But for now, Paul is looking for a new opponent, and he believes Joshua is the perfect target.

Joshua’s Next Moves and Recovery from Injury

Anthony Joshua has been absent from the ring since his loss to Daniel Dubois, and his promoter, Eddie Hearn, recently shared that Joshua is recovering from a minor injury.

The former heavyweight champion has made it clear that he aims to face Tyson Fury next, but Fury’s January retirement announcement has thrown a wrench in those plans.

Joshua might also consider rematches with Dubois or Joseph Parker as he continues to strategize his next big move in the heavyweight division.

As for Jake Paul, he’s ready to take on whoever comes next, and Anthony Joshua is high on his list.
