Should AJ fight Jake Paul?

[Master]

This is becoming a bit of a circus with Andre Ward also dropping his name in the ring.

AJ should be insulted with these challenges popping out because he is willing to consider taking on Jake.

AJ needs to announce his next fight very soon or this will get ridiculous.

if you were AJ and the biggest offer was to fight Paul and an easy night's work what would you do ?

I agree he should take the offer but I think he is being played by Jake who has no intention of taking up the challenge and using the publicity to make his next fight against a no one.

In th meantime he is exposing himself as a desperate fool with no real ambition of becoming a champion again.

desperate fool wanting to make tens of millions - I'd do it

if he got another belt now somehow it's meaningless whilst Usyk is out there

I can't even remember AJ's two decisions to Usyk - were either an SD ?!?

If the fight doesn’t come off AJ will look like a desperate loser.

AJ can make millions winning a title that has been dropped by Usyk.

Usyk won both by unanimous decision with the first contest being closer.

Jake Paul is like an embarrassing fart that just will not go away. Titofan is right Joshua pole axing him in a similar fashion to the way he dealt with Ngannou would as boxing fans be something we (even those who are not fans of AJ) would welcome.

Does Joshua have many other options now that Fury has run off tail between his legs? A stay busy / reset fight before what? Dubois rematch?

I just looked it up. He won the second on a split decision. Remember that. No. Me neither

So Jake Paul was using AJ name for publicity and is set to take on Gervonta Davis September 14th which is just another joke match up.

And this is exactly why Joshua shouldn’t fight him. Nor should Tank.
Everyone saying AJ should wipe him out……..BOLLOCKS! The spineless governing bodies should wipe him out. If any pro fights Jake Paul, fine, but they should be banned from pro boxing for fighting an un sanctioned fight.
Even if it’s an “Exhibition” !
If He wants to fight KSI or other ex no marks, cool . But it should be distanced from pro boxing.

Even if it’s an “Exhibition” !

i can live with it, if it's an exhibition

[TIC]

& to make it clear i think tank has pro business that is more important than an exhibition. i can just understand taking that sort of purse for an exhibition against jake

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul will face off in Miami on December 19, 2025, according to the latest reports.

Former world champion Joshua has agreed to fight the YouTuber-turned-boxer in a decision which has stunned the sport.

According to reporter Mike Coppinger, the bout will not be an exhibition but rather a heavyweight contest under Queensberry rules.

According to the same report, an agreement between both camps has been reached - declared a "done deal" - amid claims in the Mail that each fighter will pocket £70million.

Eddie Hearn, Joshua's promoter, insisted on Thursday that a deal is yet to be finalised, as the former world champion decides on his return to the ring for the first time since being knocked out by Daniel Dubois in September 2024.

Amid longstanding reports of a British 'superfight' between Joshua and Tyson Fury, Hearn has said his client would require a warm-up bout first.

“[Joshua] has been out of the ring for nearly a year and a half,” Hearn told BBC radio on Thursday. “If he receives several tens of millions to [end his wait to fight] and we get a chance to silence this guy that's annoyed the boxing community for a long time, then maybe. Maybe. A lot of work to do.”

“[The Paul fight is] definitely not agreed yet. We want the real stuff but we want the business as well."

If this does happen then Paul better not survive the first round.

[Mark TKO]

Well it's officially on

As said Paul shouldn't survive the first round. If he does there an NDA in place

catchweight of 245 pounds, not that it makes a difference

[TitoFan]

245??

That's hardly a stretch for AJ.

Jake should've gotten catchweight classes from Ginger.



(Ginger would've drained him to 190)

[Master]

Catchweight! Jake is in some serious trouble and this will be the end of his boxing career.
