Jake Paul Challenges Anthony Joshua for 2026 Fight

News summary

Jake Paul, the YouTuber-turned-boxer, has publicly challenged former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua to a fight, claiming he could defeat him due to Joshua's alleged lack of skill and chin. Paul, who recently won against Mike Tyson, is aiming for a 2026 showdown with Joshua, as indicated by a phone call and social media posts shared by both fighters. Eddie Hearn, Joshua's promoter, has responded by suggesting the fight could happen for entertainment value but expressed concern over Paul's health if the match materializes. The callout comes after Paul's previous attempts to secure fights with high-profile boxers like Canelo Alvarez and Gervonta Davis fell through. While Joshua has not fought since his loss to Daniel Dubois, he is open to fighting Paul, with Hearn confirming that Joshua would fight anyone. This potential matchup is seen as a significant event due to Paul's ability to draw large audiences, despite skepticism about his boxing capabilities against a seasoned fighter like Joshua.
