Jake Paul isn’t just talking he’s dreaming big again. And this time, it’s Anthony Joshua in his crosshairs. While ringside at the Usyk vs Dubois rematch at Wembley Stadium. Paul told DAZN that the legendary venue would be a fitting stage for him to fight Joshua one of the most decorated heavyweights of the modern era.

“This is where it’s going to happen,” Paul vowed to DAZN’s Adi Oladipo. “We’re going to do the unthinkable and create one of the biggest fights in the history of boxing. That’s what this is all about.”

“It’s not even about this being realistic or not. It’s going to happen. Fasten your seatbelts or whatever … and when I knock him out, I go down in the history books forever.”

Jake Paul has only fought one time heavyweight and that was against an over the hill Mike Tyson. Fighting Anthony Joshua in his own hometown might be way more than he’s able to actually chew. But Jake Paul is fearless. Paul believes that he can beat the former undisputed heavyweight champion. Paul who is the face of boxing is a very smart businessman as well because I don’t think that he believes that he can beat Joshua but he does know that he can make a whole lot of money making this fight.

Promoters supporting?

What makes this even more intriguing is that promoters are seeming to get on board with the idea of this fight. With that type of support, this fight is becoming more realistic by the day. So, we will continue to follow this closely to see when this fight actually does become official. But until then, this is kind of a fantasy fight.
