What did Jake Paul say about Anthony Joshua?
The influencer-turned-boxer recently spoke on a podcast where he said he could ‘easily beat’ former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, whom he said has a ‘glass chin’ and challenged him to get in the ring with him.
This is what Jake Paul said about Anthony Joshua:
“I want to fight Anthony Joshua and I’m going to beat him. He has a glass chin, he has no skills, he’s a clumsy fighter. I love you Anthony, we’re friends, but I want to beat you and I’m going to do it.
Joshua currently has no fight in sight, and is coming off perhaps the worst defeat of his career when he lost to Daniel Dubois last September, where the Briton was knocked out in the fifth round by his compatriot in the fight for the IBF heavyweight title.
After Jake Paul’s comments, the YouTuber-boxer revealed via his Instagram account that Anthony Joshua called him on the phone, hinting that a fight between the two boxers is not completely out of the question.
Joshua and Paul’s records
Anthony Joshua has a record of 28-4 and has been a unified heavyweight champion, as well as an Olympic champion in London 2012. However, the 35-year-old boxer has had some rather surprising and painful defeats like Dubois, against Andy Ruiz in 2019 and twice against Oleksandr Usyk.
For his part, Jake Paul has a record of 11-1, although against opponents who are either beyond retirement, such as Mike Tyson, or others in which boxing is not their main discipline, such as Nate Diaz or Anderson Silva.
