Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua, a real possibility? Very much so, says Joshua’s longtime promoter, Eddie Hearn.
"This bizarre world we live in, I think Jake Paul is absolutely the frontrunner to fight Anthony Joshua next," Hearn told Sky Sports, adding that, "I truly believe that you’re going to see it at the beginning of 2026."
Jake Paul (12-1, 7 KOs) would be facing the biggest challenge in his boxing career against Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs).
Though Joshua's career is on the decline, he still was the unified heavyweight champion in 2016 and 2021. And at 6-6, Joshua would have a substantial size advantage over the 6-1 Paul.
"I think it’s wildly dangerous," Hearn told TMZ Sports. "I mean, Jake Paul is a madman."
