Heavyweight boxing champion Oleksandr Usyk has made a grim prediction for Jake Paul as he prepares to fight Anthony Joshua later this month.
While many people still can’t quite believe it, it looks like it’s actually happening: Jake Paul will face Anthony Joshua in a professional, sanctioned heavyweight boxing match. Joshua, a former heavyweight champion himself, serves as the bigger man and the clear favorite from a country mile away – while ‘The Problem Child’ hasn’t been able to convince too many people that he can pull this off.
This is clearly a very dangerous situation for Paul, and it is by far the biggest challenge of his boxing career. Yes, he’s been lost to Tommy Fury before, but Joshua is a completely different animal in pretty much every way imaginable.
Oleksandr Usyk, who has fought and defeated Anthony Joshua twice, had this to say about his fight with Jake Paul.
Oleksandr Usyk’s take on Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua
“If Anthony wants Joshua, he will kill this man,” Usyk warned Boxing Scene. “Listen, a lot of questions, blah, blah, blah… Anthony Joshua is an Olympic champion first and foremost. Jake Paul, yes a sportsman, a YouTuber, a showman.”
“Joshua is a Rolls Royce, Jake is a Fiat. Listen, it’s true. It’s just true… Yeah, I’ll pray [for] Jake Paul,” Usyk said. “Because I want to fight Jake Paul in the octagon.”

Usyk knows a thing or two about heavyweight boxing, and the same can be said about Joshua. Unfortunately, Paul knows the crowd will tune in hoping to see him pass out, and there’s a good chance that will happen.
Either way, there will be a lot of viewers on Netflix on December 19th.
