    Do you really think Joshua, with his ego, a former world heavyweight champion who has been in twice with the best in the world and is already mega rich would do a fixed fight and lose to a novice boxer? Don’t you remember the absolute meltdown after the second Usyk fight? Joshua is an extremely sore loser and he knows his reputation is done if he’s seen to even go past one round with a YouTuber who is not even a natural HW tbh.

    Also Joshua is a spiteful guy. I think if this is actually happening he goes in and brutally ices Paul as soon as an opening appears.

    This shouldn't be licensed. We saw what AJ did to an amateur 6'5 beast of a man.

    Paul goes cold after the first solid punch.

    Joshua doesn't need the money. If he takes the fight against Fake Paul he becomes a laughing stock in HW boxing.

    Don't do it Mr Humble !

    It would be a pre agreed contract like his other fights. The deal will be to go the distance or something scripted with no KO and penalty's for breach of contract. If Paul is offering £20 mill for Joshua to spar him on cameras and say after "he was tougher than I expected" he has to think about that at his stage of his career. There may also be some share/business proposal bundled in as Jake and Joshua are friends, keeps him relevant with Jake Paul fanbase and YouTube generation and also with Netflix involved the money could be much higher. Smart move from Joshua who has stated on many occasions that he is a business man.

    If this fight actually happens and it isn’t some WWE-style exhibition, then this is the kind of event that could genuinely push the sport toward being banned. As much as Jake Paul has improved, there are levels to every profession for a reason.

    Jake is basically a Sunday-league footballer with all the kit and gadgets trying to turn up and play in the Premier League. Don’t get me wrong, he’s a brilliant marketer, but if he genuinely thinks he can roll with a seasoned, top-level active veteran, he’s a delusional opportunist chancer.

    It’s laughable. It’s like someone doing a week-long course and then turning up in an operating theatre – that level of mismatch. Jake actually needs safeguarding from himself at this point, because this goes way beyond Dave Allen levels of delusion, but it’s what happens to ego-inflated people surrounded by eager sycophants. The fact there are actual discussions about this as a potential event shows how far the sport is sliding into circus territory. It’s crazy that this is even on the table.

    And honestly, this would be one of the rare times I’d be firmly rooting for AJ, and he needs to serve Jake up if it happens, just let one haymaker go, and that will put an end to all of it.

    The saddest thing is so many so-called 'boxing fans' are happy with this kind of rubbish nowadays. Then turn around and complain when genuine contenders don't face it other.

    That happened firstly on 1 June 2019 in New York, then at the end of Usyk 2 with the Humble Meltdown and last year when Daddy Cool was blasting around Wembley Stadium when the fight with Dubois ended.

    This is just the cherry on the icing.

    Be amazed if it's anything less than 14oz gloves.

    We have seen Toe Haye reduce his decent legacy to tatters in the name of PPV Loot and this is even worse as surely Joshua does not need any more PPV Loot.

    DAZN Ultimate susbcribers should be relieved that this will be on Netflix and this cartoon 'boxing contest' will not count as one of the PPVs.

    Any time I see Jake Paul, I instantly think of Catch Me If You Can. The whole thing reminds me of those Frank Abagnale-style hustle vibes – selling the image, selling the story, convincing everyone he belongs where he absolutely doesn’t.

    He’s the ultimate short-con marketer in boxing terms, and he’ll have his followers believing he’s actually got a shot here or that this is some kind of legitimate matchup.

    The guy will probably talk his way into politics eventually, and he and Hearn will be in their element promoting this farce. It makes this weekend's fight look like Hagler–Hearns by comparison.

    This just in - the winner of Joshua v Paul gets a crack at the winner of Tom and Jerry.

    And who in the right ****ing mind is going to pay to watch this shite?
    Because whoever does must be completely and utterly ranked amongst the biggest hall of fame window lickers out there.
    For what it's worth though, JP sparks AJ brutally whenever he wants.

    Window for one please!!

    I don't usually watch these types of fights involving YouTube stars and the like, but I will watch this to see Jake Paul get knocked out.

    Fair play to the lad. He's done well for himself, and all things considered, someone with little to no previous boxing experience beating washed up MMA fighters is still impressive. If he kept it at that and was honest about it I wouldn't have a problem. However, he chats utter bollocks about being a real boxer and wanting to win a world title and change boxing. If you want to be a champion, fight actual boxers your size that aren't old. Also, don't be saying you want to change boxing when you do what every other promoter does; sell bull**** fights with overmatched opponents as PPV fights.

    Joshua gets a lot of stick, but he should be given respect for two of his cartoon fights; Ngannou and this proposed Jake Paul fight. He saved boxing's blushes KOing Ngannou after the Fury debacle, and, hopefully, he will shut Jake Paul up brutally.

    Regardless of what you think of Joshua, if you are a fan of the sport, you have to respect him for that.
