Joshua has had 32 professional bouts compared to Paul's 13
Former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua is in talks to fight YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul.
Joshua, 36, has not fought since he was stopped in the fifth round by British rival Daniel Dubois in September last year.
Eddie Hearn, Joshua's promoter, said in August it was likely Joshua's next fight would be against Paul - and on Thursday confirmed that talks had taken place between the two camps.
Media outlets reported on Wednesday that a fight between the pair was almost a done deal, but Hearn told BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast that "everyone has jumped the gun" with these claims.
