Jake Paul knows what you’re thinking. He’s thought about it, too. Anthony Joshua? This isn’t a journeyman with a glossy record (Andre August, Ryan Bourland), a faded former middleweight titleholder (Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.) or a legend decades past his prime (Mike Tyson). This is Anthony freaking Joshua. The guy that pulverized Charles Martin to win the heavyweight title and ended Francis Ngannou’s boxing career with one punch. Sure, Joshua has fallen on tough times of late. He’s four years removed from his last reign as heavyweight champion. A year ago, Daniel Dubois knocked him out. But this is an Olympic gold medalist, a two-time titleholder, a 6' 6", brick-fisted puncher who doesn’t toy with lesser competition.
“This is insane,” says Paul. “I am a madman. I am out of my f---ing mind.”
