ANTHONY JOSHUA welcomed Jake Paul to the boxing fold and called him "great" for his sport.
YouTuber Paul has been controversial since his debut against AnEsonGib last year.
Jake Paul beat ex-UFC fighter Tyron Whiteley in Cleveland
The 24-year old has been known to enjoy trash-talking, and famously quipped with Floyd Mayweather during a press conference in advance of his fight with Logan.
His record is now 4-0. In August, he won the largest win of his career with a points verdict in eight rounds against Tyron Woodley, an ex-UFC champion.
Paul's attempt to get into boxing has been criticized by professional fighters. UFC star Nate Diaz tweeted that "these guys both suckers" after Paul's fight with Woodley.
Anthony Joshua, the British world heavyweight champion, has offered his support to American fighter as he builds his reputation.
Joshua said to IFLTV, "[He] is] great at boxing. Joshua is trying to get in the boxing ring with zero experience and throwing himself into the deep end.
He'll likely learn a lot more than many fighters, throwing his body in the deep end and putting himself under tremendous pressure. He'll be a great fighter.
BJ Flores has given Paul permission to fight next in Britain's Tommy Fury.
Paul beat Anthony Taylor, his sparring partner on Love Island 2019, in four rounds. This was the night Woodley won.
It put Fury, 22 years old, and Paul, 24, together for possible fights. Training camps were started as soon as next week.
Paul will also be fighting Vitor Belfort, an ex-UFC champion, in a $30 million Thanksgiving winner-takes-all bout.
Joshua will be facing Oleksandr Usyk from Ukraine at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, September 25, 2010.
The much-anticipated all British bout between Joshua Fury and Fury's brother Tyson was long in the making. Fellow Brit David Haye claimed that Tyson is trying to avoid his British counterpart.
