AJ Warned by Ex-European Champion
Anthony Joshua has been cautioned against fighting Jake Paul, with ex-European bantamweight champ Spencer Oliver stating that he "loses all credibility" if he takes on the YouTube star before focusing on regaining his world heavyweight title.
The Callout and Potential Bout
The unexpected matchup started when Jake Paul called out AJ on his podcast, leading to a phone call between the two where they reportedly discussed a potential fight in 2026 to further fill their bank accounts. Joshua's promoter, Eddie Hearn, confirmed the heavyweight champion's interest in the bout.
Size and Skill Disparity
Despite Paul moving up to heavyweight and weighing in at 227lb, two stone lighter than Joshua, the YouTuber criticized AJ's skills and chin. This has sparked discussions about a potential fight between the two, but many in the boxing world are skeptical.
Focus on Regaining Heavyweight Title
Oliver emphasized the importance of Joshua's journey in reclaiming the world heavyweight title before considering a matchup with Jake Paul. He highlighted the financial allure but urged AJ to prioritize his boxing career over a spectacle fight.
