Anthony Joshua has lost three of his past seven fights and has not been in the ring since his defeat by Daniel Dubois more than a year ago
Leading promoter Eddie Hearn has talked up the possibility of a big-money fight between former unified world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua and YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul.
Reports on Wednesday speculated the bout could even happen this year, before Hearn told BBC Radio 5 Live on Thursday that "everyone has jumped the gun".
If a fight did materialise it would represent the peak of Paul's boxing career, whose sole loss came against Tommy Fury, but what would it do for Joshua?
Joshua, 36, is still aiming for the biggest fights in the heavyweight division and Hearn says he hopes to finalise a bout with Tyson Fury for 2026.
