Anthony Joshua vs. Jake Paul: An absurd fight, which can be the biggest drawing of boxing

The potential fight of Anthony Joshua with Jake Paul is perceived as “absurd” One to do by some fans. The former two-time heavyweight champion Joshua (28-4, 25 KO) can face YouTuber, who became Paul Paul (12-1, 7 KO) at the beginning of 2026.

Mega-Draw: Paul vs Joshua

This is a fight that can be the most -watched clash in the history of sport due to the combination of Jake’s vast fans in social media and a match that can be shown in Netflix.

It is larger on paper than Canelo Alvarez vs. Terenca Crawford because of the huge fans of Paweł:

Jake Paul’s popularity:

  • YouTube: 20.9 million subscribers
  • Tiktok: 18.5 million followers
  • Instagram: 28.7 million followers
  • X: 4.7 followers

It is much more popular than any of these fighters, including Joshua.

“It seems restless. This is an absurd fight to make Jake Paul at the fighters level, about the lack of experience against a very busy heavyweight. Although Anthony was not so busy,” said Gareth A. Davies to The the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the Stamping About the fight between Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul.

Paweł’s power, aj chin

This is a fight that Jake Paul can easily win if he lands in one of his great power shots. This is not AJ at the factory level at the level of 2013, which left the production line, which we will see against Paweł. Joshua has a high course on it after his 12-year career.

“It’s an absurd fight, And one of the reasons why it would be so observed, is that people would be rubbed. It’s a fight against a car accident, “Gareth said, continuing the chirp at the soap dish.” Outside, you just think: “There is no way to survive Anthony Joshu’s gibberish. You can’t believe it. This is happening.”

Fight Joshua vs. Paul makes full sense when you look at the time that is now created in sport. Anthony and Tyson Fury fought with a complete novice, Francis Ngannou, and the matches were sanctioned despite the lack of experience of the former UFC master.

Joshua-Paul: Commercial Behemot

“I do not accept this fight. I do not think it should be licensed. I think it is hazardous for Jake Paul,” said Davies about Joshua-Paul. “I think he will be able to lean and Anthony Joshua, if we fight.

At this point, you cannot rule out Jake’s victory. The AJ impact resistance disappeared 100%, he will be 36 years venerable before they fight in 2026 and will probably leisurely down over a year. Joshua has been on the hill since 2021. His situation will deteriorate before he fights Paul at the beginning of next year.

Jake Paul’s boxing influence

The problem is that Joshua’s chin has disappeared and cannot make a blow. It doesn’t matter that Jake didn’t start his career as a boxer. His power is undeniable, and if one of his bombs lands, it will end for Joshua. This fight can end in the first round if Jake joins. Unlike the clumsy, uncoordinated Daniel Dubois, Paul is an excellent finisher.

“Look what he did to Francis Ngannou, like, for example, Ngannou is an experienced warrior with a very strenuous blow, who was extremely well against Tyson Fury, who did not take him seriously enough when they fought,” Gareth said.

If Joshua were ready to fight the novice 0-1, Ngannou, what is his fight with Jake Paul? He has more experience in sport than Francis and has shown more talents. Ngannou had only 21 fights under the belt in MMA before he turned to the box to get a coin. Jake is a much better warrior in boxing than he.

Paulie Malignaggis Insightful Verdict on Manny Pacquiao vs Shakur Stevenson Fight

Paulie Malignaggi's Insightful Verdict on Manny Pacquiao vs Shakur Stevenson Fight

Paulie Malignaggi has offered his reaction to a reported clash between Shakur Stevenson and Manny Pacquiaowhich could feature on the undercard of Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua.

The all-British heavyweight showdown is expected to take place on December 11, headlining an event at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium.

That is, of course, if Fury and Joshua actually make it to the ring, as despite it being announced earlier this week, The Ring’s Mike Coppinger has since reported that their fight is in jeopardy.

Prior to that, it had emerged that an encounter between Stevenson and Pacquiao – between whom there is a near two-decade age gap – was being planned for the same night in Wales.

Should it come to fruition, this would represent Stevenson’s first outing since signing with Dana White’s Zuffa Boxing, who he joined after dethroning Teofimo Lopez with a unanimous decision victory in January.

Pacquiao, meanwhile, has not fought since his draw with Mario Barrios in July 2025, when he ended a near four-year layoff and almost claimed the WBC welterweight title.

Yet despite that surprisingly impressive performance, former world champion Malignaggi has emphasised on his YouTube channel that, against Stevenson, the 47-year-old would be facing an entirely different competitor.

“Manny Pacquiao-Shakur Stevenson has no place on this card; [it] has no place in big-time boxing. I am completely befuddled.

“[I’m] disappointed in Stevenson; [I’m] disappointed in Zuffa, obviously. These are ‘click bait’ type of fights. These are names that draw attention, so you can get people to watch. Then the fight’s a dud and all these casuals sit there complaining about boxing, telling you why boxing’s dead.”

Malignaggi went on to credit Pacquiao with being “competitive against the worst world champion I’ve ever seen in my life”, emphasising a considerable difference between Barrios and Stevenson.
