Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul might engage in a spectacular bout to “test the limits of what’s possible.”
Paul, a former YouTuber who is now a boxer, defeated Mike Tyson on Netflix in eight rounds by moving up to heavyweight.
Jake Paul could sensationally fight Anthony Joshua.
Anthony Joshua can weigh up to eighteen stones.
With more than 72,000 fans inside AT&T Stadium and over 100 million viewers, it was a commercial triumph. And because of Paul’s triumph, people like 39-year-old undisputed light-heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev called Paul out. The 27-year-old Daniel Dubois, who defeated Joshua, 35, in September, also faced off against the 11-1 social media star. Nakisa Bidarian, Paul’s promotional partner, told Sky Sports: “Jake told me that I wanted to do that fight.
“Not now. But I want to do that fight. To be a world champion at cruiserweight, he wants to do that.
“The other is to test the limits of expectations. Test the limits of what’s possible.
“This event with Mike Tyson, that tested the limits of what was possible for the world to see and him fighting Anthony Joshua or Daniel Dubois is kind of the same thing.
“Jake weighed in at 227lbs but really he walks around at 215. But he’ll do it for the right environment, the right framework.
“It isn’t about the money. He’s made lots of money from the time he was 18 years old. It’s really about disruption.
“It’s really about doing things that make you say: ‘Wow, that really happened.’ That’s what excites us.”
Joshua weighed as heavy as 18 STONE before he was knocked out in round five by Dubois in September.
And talks to rematch in February have since broken down as AJ instead eyes a return in the summer.
Meanwhile Paul, 27, has the likes of Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez, 34, in his sights as he plots his next move.
Bidarian said: “He has plenty of options.
“He’s going to take a few days off and then we’re going to sit down next week with him, his advisers, his coaches and determine the next steps.
“This was an opportunity to grab the world’s attention and remind them why this is such a beautiful sport.
“Jake played a major part in doing that in his match against Mike Tyson and strategically we positioned Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano right before them.
“In terms of what’s next for Jake – whatever he wants it to be, to be honest.”
Joshua towers over Jake Paul.
