Jake Paul Eyes Future Showdown with Anthony Joshua

Jake Paul’s recent comments and ambitions signal a dramatic turn in his unconventional boxing career. After a victorious bout against Mike Tyson, Paul appears set on challenging the heavyweight division’s elite, including Anthony Joshua.

This move represents his desire to “test the limits” and push boundaries in the sport, according to his promotional partner Nakisa Bidarian.

Bidarian revealed that Paul, currently fluctuating between 215-227 pounds, views a fight against Joshua as a future goal while he works toward a cruiserweight world title. The motivation, Bidarian emphasized, is not financial but about creating unforgettable moments in boxing.

The potential matchup arises at a critical moment for Anthony Joshua, who is recovering from injuries following a knockout loss to Daniel Dubois in September. As Joshua eyes a likely return in mid-2024, Amir Khan has encouraged him to prioritize a clash with Tyson Fury before retiring.

This advice comes as Fury gears up for a rematch against Oleksandr Usyk after losing his WBC title, with speculation of a Joshua-Fury bout gaining traction under Saudi Arabia’s Riyadh Season initiative.

Jake Paul’s ambitions and the fluctuating dynamics of the heavyweight division suggest intriguing possibilities for boxing fans in the near future.
