    Joshua is wise to let his brain heal up for a year. Tuneup to end the year and then chase a big fight in 2026(hopefully Fury)

    The Joshua that plodded after a superior boxer, unable to cut off the ring, unable to box with him, took punishment, and lost 9-3 or 10-2 in his hometown is a nightmare historically? What?

    Normally, I would say let's pray for Jake Paul to fight Anthony Joshua. However, given the recent deaths of some good boxers, I think this fight would be a horrible idea.

    If a mid-30s AJ fought Jake Paul, a roided MW celebrity boxer, that would be the most disgraceful matchup in the history of boxing. Nothing would ever top it.

    I remember Hearn pointing the finger at Fury for fighting Nganou, only for Joshua to fight him not long after but fighting Paul would be a new low and by a long way.

    Jake Paul is not fighting Joshua unless it's rigged. I am not buying that at all. Dude is fighting no hopers and then Joshua? Yeah, right.

    Physically. And I don't think he's as weak mentally as most here assume. He may be, but I think he may be slightly stronger mentally than the total mental midget the masses believe him to be.

    You are over thinking it. Just watch Joshua's recent performances. He isn't what he used to be.

    Who says it won't be?

    The fight would be an absolutely shameless cash out on the part of Joshua. If he's going to sell his soul he might as well go the whole way and take a dive as well.

    What’s next? Another embarrassing KO loss. AJ is a Glass Jawed Fighter.

    I can't get my head around the Jake Paul thing. Its legitimately dangerous for his long term health.

    Jake Paul sat and watched what happened to Ngannou (a man magnitudes tougher than he is) and thought "yeah I want some of that too". Death wish.

    Joshua has double the net worth of Jake Paul, I can't see how Paul would be able to get enough money together to convince Joshua to take a dive.
