After Jake Paul defeated Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. by unanimous decision in late June, he proceeded to call out Gervonta Davis and Anthony Joshua for his follow-up fight. At the time, everyone called him insane, and no one actually believed he was being serious.
Yet less than a month later, “Tank” Davis took him up on the offer. Despite the huge size advantage for Paul, the fight was set for November 14. Then came Davis’ legal troubles, and the subsequent cancellation of the bout. Since that point, Paul has been looking for a replacement to fight before the end of the year. Now, Joshua has entered the picture in Davis’ place.
According to Mike Coppinger of Ring Magazine, Paul and Joshua are finalizing a deal for a Netflix fight in December in Miami. If it comes fruition, it’s set to be a massive payday for both boxers. The question will be whether Joshua has free rein to go after Paul without any restrictions. If so, everyone believes Joshua will destroy Paul.
Derek Chisora believes Anthony Joshua will send Jake Paul to the hospital
Derek Chisora, a seasoned heavyweight veteran who has fought many of the same opponents Joshua has, is giving Paul absolutely no chance against AJ. In fact, he’s worried for Paul’s health.
If that fight happens, somebody better go to jail. AJ is going to kill him, it’s unfair. Someone has to go to jail. He hasn’t got the power to knock out Joshua. Jake Paul goes home in an ambulance.
