Joseph Parker says “It doesn’t make sense” The former two -time heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua, fought youtuber, turned the boxer Jake Paul. Parker must fight the best warriors to be seen as “grave” in sport.
Parker states that Parker states that Paul (12-1 7 KO) has been doing well since he became a professional in 2020, but “he is not a real boxer.” Jake reportedly earned $ 100 million in his brief five -year boxing career. With this kind of money earned in such a brief time, you can’t blame Joshua for the desire to face him instead of one of the less popular “real” heavyweight.
Joshua’s biggest payday day so far
Promoter Eddie Hearn says that the fight of Joshua-Paul will take place in 2026. “I really believe [the fight] It will happen at the beginning of 2026, “said Hearn to Sky Sports. Hearn believes that the fight will be” the biggest day of Joshua’s payment “and what is understandable. Jake Paul has a huge observation in social media with millions of subscribers Instagram, X, Tiktok and YouTube.
“AJ was a great master when he was a champion. If he seriously approaches boxing and seriously approaches the desire to participate in sport at the highest level, this fight does not make sense at all,” said WBO Master, Joseph Parker Sky sports boxing About Anthony Joshua potentially fighting with Jake Paul in 2026.
It is not clear whether Parker is still brilliantly drawing the hope that Joshua will look at him to give him a chance to avenge his loss against him seven years ago. Realistically, I don’t give Parker hope for the second fight with AJ. Joshua has no attention to fight the Parker again, because it is not popular compared to other heavyweight. What’s more, Joshua has already defeated him.
Joshua defeated the then heavyweight champion WBO Parker on March 31, 2018 in the struggle of unification. It was a strange fight with the participation of judge Giuseppe Quartarone, who often separated two fighters when they were close. Some fans believe that this prevented Parker from starting his shots.
Is Paweł a “real boxer”?
“Jake Paul was doing well to promote himself and saying that he is one of the best in the world. But if you look at it, he is not really a real boxer. He is YouTuber arriving at the box and was doing well. But if AJ wants to be grave, he must fight the best warriors in the world,” said Parker.
It doesn’t matter if Parker perceives Jake Paul as a “real boxer”. It is crucial here that his promoter, Hearn, believes that Joshua can earn more money by fighting him than to other fighters except Tyson Fury.

Tony Bellew is going against the grain for tonight’s Daniel Dubois vs Fabio Wardley rematch.
The pair meet again just five months on from their thrilling first encounter, with Dubois now WBO champion having won the belt from Wardley via eleventh round stoppage.
After surviving two early knockdowns, the Londoner – who is now in his second stint as heavyweight titlist – took over the contest with a solid jab setting up thudding attacks that exhausted Wardley.
Though the Ipswich man stayed on his feet throughout, referee Howard Foster waved it off as the punishment because too much.
It is how the fight ended, and those last few rounds in which Dubois was largely dominating, that make him a strong favourite to retain his belt.
Giving his prediction to the BBCformer cruiserweight world champion Bellew backed Wardley to have success early again, but capitalise fully this time and end it.
“I’m going to be the difference. I am going to back Fabio Wardley by knockout within six rounds. Yep, I said [it]. I’m going for Fab within six.”
Dubois was on the canvas within ten seconds last time out, and took a knee in the third when hurt again.
Bellew has questioned Dubois’ resolve in the past, pointing to his stoppage loss to Joe Joyce as proof that there is a point he can be pushed to that he is not willing to go beyond. Many, however, will look to the first Wardley performance and disagree.
Both men recorded the highest weights of their careers on the scalessuggesting that neither will be changing the gameplan to a more measured affair, rather looking to engage in round 13 from the off tonight at London’s O2.
Top trainer Peter Fury has offered his expert analysis on the rematch between Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley, believing it is still a 50/50 fight.
Others, meanwhile, will argue that Dubois should be made a considerable favourite, based on how he was able to dismantle Wardley in their first encounter.
In order to do so, the ‘Dynamite’ puncher was compelled to climb off the canvas in rounds one and three, having been put down by blows to the top of his head.
Proceedings then became a little one-sided as Dubois, utilising his fundamentals, managed to score an 11th-round finish with his thudding jab and superior footwork.
Wardley, however, wasted little time before activating the rematch clause in their contract and, in turn, securing the chance to reclaim his WBO title at London’s O2 Arena tomorrow evening.
Many will argue that such a swift turnaround could lead to his downfall while, due to his power and toughness, others would suggest that the 31-year-old is always dangerous, no matter the opponent standing across from him.
As such, coach Fury has told Boxing King Media that, while Dubois is rightfully brimming with confidence, it would be foolish to entirely dismiss Wardley’s attributes.
“I think it’s a great heavyweight fight – Dubois has got heavy hands and a good jab as well, so it’ll be interesting.
“You’ve got to say Wardley’s got it all to do, because the confidence of Dubois will be high. And if Dubois’ super confident, he’s a problem.
“But let’s see – Wardley was able to hurt Dubois early on. I still think that fight is a 50/50 fight.”
If he emerges victorious against Wardley, then Dubois will likely be targeting a unification match with Agit Kabayel or Filip Hrgovic in 2027.
Daniel Dubois will face Fabio Wardley in a rematch of a heavyweight slugfest from earlier this year, with Dubois defending the WBO heavyweight title he took from Wardley on that night.
