The ‘problem child’ has given an important update on the potential heavyweight confrontation after the two boxers have agreed to a fight next year
YouTube star boxer Jake Paul has expressed the confidence in arranging a battle with two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua.
The social media star took the headlines earlier this year after he openly challenged Joshua on his YouTube channel ‘BS with Jake Paul,’ which says: ‘I want to fight Anthony Joshua because I know that I have Anthony Joshua’s a **. Canelo, I will beat many people. “
After their exchange, the couple immediately agreed on the phone with a future fight. During an interview with Ariel Helwani, Paul gave the last about a possible collision between the two boxing stars. “Yes, we spoke to the phone for ten minutes and we are both down. I said 2026 and he said,” Okay, let’s get it, “he said.

“We’re going to let it happen, so I think this will be a mega light next year and something fun to test my skills on heavyweight. But I think his chin has disappeared and especially if he is fighting another time or two between the end of 2026. I love Anthony, he has always supported me, I have always supported him in a fight.”
Joshua has confirmed that he will only go back in the ring at the earliest in December. ‘AJ’, has not fought anymore since his shocking fifth round knockout loss for Daniel Dubois last September. Joshua spoke with ESPN about his plans and stated: “December I will fight again. That’s when I want to fight again. I want to take some time and then I go in December.”
When he talked about his British rival Tyson Fury, Joshua replied: “Don’t worry about him, he says many things. I just want my body to feel good and my mind goes well and then I will fight. No problem!” While speculation has a potential confrontation between Paul and Joshua, boxing promoter Eddie Hearn has given a strict warning to the American YouTuber, which suggests that the ‘problem child’ may not fully understand the risks of his star client.
Hearn spoke to the pounding ground: “The reason [people] In it, is because it is so dangerous. [They think] If he touches Jake Paul, his head could really get rid of his neck. That is the world in which we live. If it’s what you want to see, I am sure that AJ would give you what you want. But unless you then do it, don’t talk about it. If you do it then, we will do it. AJ does not defend a belt, he does not try to unite, he does not try to be undisputed. We are looking for an opponent.
“If it’s Jake Paul, it’s a huge payment day and a simple job. If I walked into the ring to fight Jake Paul, I wouldn’t be nervous. I could be competitive. It’s impossible [Paul beats Joshua]. Jake Paul could probably have a dozen free shots on the chin of AJ and it wouldn’t even [faze him]. Respect for Jake, he wants to make the big moments and he would make crazy money for that fight. If you want to do it, do it, but understand the dangers of that fight. “
