Jake Paul Teases Potential Anthony Joshua Boxing Fight at London's Wembley Stadium

Jake Paul teased a potential boxing match with Anthony Joshua during an interview at London's Wembley Stadium, which played host to the Oleksandr Usyk vs. Daniel Dubois 2 fight card on Saturday.

"Yeah, like, this is where it's gonna happen," Paul said when asked if a fight with Joshua was possible. "We're gonna do the unthinkable and create one of the biggest fights in the history of boxing, and that's what this is all about."

When asked about how realistic a fight with Joshua is, Paul said:

"It's not even about it being realistic or not," Paul replied. "Like, it's gonna happen. So fasten your seatbelts or whatever. And when I knock them out, I go down in the history books forever."

The 28-year-old Paul, a social media star turned professional boxer, is 12-1 with seven career knockouts. He notably just beat Julio César Chávez Jr., the WBC middleweight champion in 2011 and 2012, in June via unanimous decision. Paul's even No. 14 on the latest WBA cruiserweight rankings.

Paul has taken on some big names, although the fighters he has faced, by and large, (a) are past their prime or (b) didn't box professionally. The biggest name Paul has faced is Mike Tyson, but the former heavyweight champion was 58 years old at the time.

Joshua would be a massive step-up in competition. He is a two-time unified world heavyweight champion (2016 and 2021) with a 28-4 lifetime record. His last fight was a fifth-round knockout loss, but it was to Daniel Dubois, the IBF heavyweight champion.

If this fight actually happens, it would be a huge test for Paul. And believe it or not, wheels could be in motion to make it happen. Saudi Arabian sports promoter Turki Al-Sheikh could very well make it happen.

So we'll see if this actually goes down. For now, nothing is imminent, but the potential showdown is at least on the radar at the moment.
