"I'm going to really want to cause him pain. That's what I want to do." Respectful Exchange Despite those words, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically known for his theatrics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other. Jake Paul rather attacked ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.

Paul's History Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional. He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023. Commercial Success However, the novice is still one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, consistently making huge financial rewards.

"The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul said. Physical Disparity As Joshua and Paul participated in the traditional confrontation, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it drove home just how unlikely this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the fight is actually going ahead.
