[boxing] Jake Paul Vs Anhony Joshua

[Akbarkoe]

There is nothing much that I can comment about a march between Anhony Joshua and Jake Paul than that Anhony Joshua is going to win the match. Jack Paul is of no match for him with how I see and think the result would be. If I should bet on who would win, definitely it is Antonio Joshua but it might be of small odd.

In terms of weight and height Anthony is much better and he has a very strong punch, 25 times knocked out his opponent, and his experience is much more than Jake Paul, I agree that they are very different in terms of quality and experience, from the specifications Anthony is far superior, the victory is clearly in front of his eyes in the data, but in this match pits intelligence on the field, and who knows that Jake Paul has a trick to handle Anthony, although the chances are small.

[Sammye3]

This fight might be not so  a difficult win for Anthony Joshua given the fact that he is a two time world heavy weight champion and Jake Paul is just getting a kick to the start of his career so this fight seems like a little set back for him and might hurt his reputation he has held in high esteem.

Jake Paul might be looking for a means to upgrade his boxing career to draw more attention even though he knows he might not win the match. He could only try to last for as long as possible just to show resilience but he might as well lose the match.

It's a win win for Joshua but might not be that match the people would love to watch based on lack of potential opponent that would make the match a bit more entertaining and exciting to watch.

Anthony Joshua will dismantle Jake Paul should the fight go through. Although I don't want this match to go through as I want Joshua to fight a more stronger opponent. Joshua a former world champion coming to fight Jake Paul doesn't make sense. Jake Paul should look for someone of his calibre to fight. I don't care about the money involved in the fight, Joshua should not let money push him into accepting a match that he is bigger than.

[Sandra_hakeem]

What does this mean for the Nate Diaz fight? Is that still on or is this taking place instead?

I think Anthony Joshua is the opponent people have been wanting to see Jake Paul match up with. He’s bigger, a champion, and under 40 years old… I think Jake might have bitten off more than he can chew here.

Man is always moving too fast with his choices and bluff. Unless this is just their usual set-up matches, if everything goes smoothly, Anthony is the favorite.

If it's a serious real match and there's no match fixing behind it, Joshua will easily win this fight. The power of his punches and his skills are very clear.

If this is what you believe, then your the first statement is wrong. This fixture doesn't look balanced at all, unless we all wanna be served with the same drama that happened between Joshua and Francis Ngannou. The slag and fall looked really faked and staged, and here we go again.

Limited option for Joshua right now, Usyk is still the king of Heavyweight and he was beaten by Usyk twice already. The only relevant fight for Joshua is Tyson Fury, but Fury is retired already. So Jake Paul offer him this fight that he couldn't refuse, big money and if he won they maybe he can go back and bring back his motivation again as his lost 5 fights is not that good of a record. And as the bigger between the two, it is expected that Joshua should win here, just like how he knockout Francis Ngannou, a non boxer who proves he below to the ring, just like Jake Paul who is just a exhibition fighter that wanted to be a professional boxer.

Although the fight between Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua is not yet officially confirmed, all the press hits from "respected" news outlets suggest it's much more than just a rumour at this stage.

Anthony Joshua set to face Jake Paul in December heavyweight bout
https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/nov/12/anthony-joshua-jake-paul-december-miami-fight-netflix

Revealed: The staggering £140m prize pot on offer for Anthony Joshua vs Jake Paul, the truth about its status as an exhibition fight and why rival promoter Frank Warren is backing 'car crash' bout
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/boxing/article-15287465/The-staggering-140m-prize-pot-Anthony-Joshua-vs-Jake-Paul.html


So after the fight with Tank Davis fell through, the next target for Paul is much more ambitious: a highly ranked, heavyweight former champion. If the fight is legit and if it will materialise, I don't give Paul any chances. But with these kinds of shows, anything is possible, and there will be suspicion about whether the fight could be staged.

The alleged price pot is said to be £140m, and apparently they are aiming for it to happen on 19th or 26th December in Miami.

Thoughts?

Jake Paul isn't really on Anthony Joshua's level and everyone knows that, from the odds the bookmakers provided it's obvious that Anthony Joshua has a high chance of beating him, he has more experience and he's a heavyweight fighter, Jake Paul on the other hand isn't really experienced and from the looks of it this isn't going to be an exhibition fight,  Paul doesn't stand a chance at all.

(...) I think Jake might have bitten off more than he can chew here.

I fear it might be a fixed fight in the sense that AJ will be incentivised to go easy on Jake, let him survive and AJ will win by points.
That way, both will get what they want. AJ will grab a huge purse and another win on his record, Jake will legitimise himself as a boxer because of fighting like an equal (+ the money).

There has been some mixed news today, but it seems like the fight has been confirmed, with the set date of 19th December and place: Miami.
It will be broadcast live on Netflix.

Yes, I have posted this fight it here, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5556104.msg66040697#msg66040697

And now I think this is official, yes, it could be true that this one scenario could play out, AJ making a lot of money out of this money and let it easy on Jake Paul and not knock him out as we all know that he still have that power as a heavyweight.

I'm not sure if the odds are out, but if the fight goes 12 rounds odds are good, I think I will go on that bet, if it at least 2.x and above.

But let's see, for sure Joshua will be the favorite, but how big it is the question and it might not be as attractive as we thought.

At least the age gap isn't as far off as it was when Jake Paul faced Tyson, so this could be something to look forward to.

But on the one hand of course we understand the entertainment that will be done so in the end I will not expect too much about the fight in the ring and I will not be in the stakes later because even though they take it seriously, entertainment will still be inserted and it could be a condition that occurs like the previous fight.
It is interesting at the moment to see versatile influencer Jake Paul create some interesting entertainment with Anhony Joshua in the ring and I hope it doesn't fizzle out like it did with Canelo and Gervonta Davis this time.

Fight Odds

Jake Paul +560
Anthony Joshua -1000

AJ is a massive favorite here, and odds reflect there’s around a 91% probability he beats Jake Paul.
Honestly, I don’t even see Jake Paul surviving 12 rounds unless this fight ends up being scripted. (which i'm expecting it to be....)

[Darker45]

It seems nobody's afraid of Joshua anymore. Even a YouTuber is now challenging him. But I hope this pushes through and Joshua will take it seriously. There's the juicy paycheck, of course, but although defeating an attention-seeker wannabe boxer wouldn't add anything to Joshua's résumé, it at least brings Jake to his senses. Joshua isn't anymore a force to be reckoned with, but I'm sure he can easily dismantle an ambitious outsider. He did that against Ngannou. There's no reason why he can't do the same to Jake.

[0x000369]

Honestly I think this whole thing feels more like entertainment than an actual serious boxing matchup because Joshua is on a completely different level and anyone who watches boxing even a little bit knows that.
Jake has improved a lot but going from influencers and retired fighters straight to someone like AJ is wild and if the fight actually happens you already know people will say it was scripted or fixed especially with that kind of money involved 
If it ends quick nobody will be surprised and if Jake somehow wins the internet will explode with conspiracy takes for me I will only believe it when I see the official announcement because boxing rumors come out every week and most of them never happen but if it is real then Joshua should handle it easily this is a huge step up for Jake and maybe too big of a jump

It's because Joshua has been exposed already. However, it's the other way around, it is the youtuber who challenges him and he is not even a boxer by itself. And as someone posted the odds, it's very obvious that Joshua will be the huge favorite.

I think Joshua is still has power and if you are going to match him against a so called boxer like Jake Paul, for sure his experience is going to prevail and maybe he could win by a knockout just like what he did to Ngannou. So Jake Paul might have sign his death wish in this fight.

[FinneysTrueVision]

AJ should be facing real heavyweights, real challenge, he has potential to get some belts on his waist again. If he really fights Jake, he would lose a lot of respect from boxing fans. Just imagine, if somehow Jake wins, that will be such a jump in his rating, that what, he would call champion next (who? Usyk from heavyweights or someone from cruiservers?)? If AJ wants to sell his name and record, better do it against professional boxers, who wants to build name and take everything serious.

P.S. Why his status on boxrec is inactive? He has silently retired from professional boxing?

Joshua is a prize fighter, emphasis on the word prize. These sorts of fights happen all the time, from Ali vs. Inoki to Mayweather vs. McGregor. Furthermore, boxing has some of the most toxic fans in sports, so he should not really care what they think. I would estimate Jake’s chances of winning at less than 20% so the risk-reward ratio is very good.

AJ hasn’t fought in more than a year, so his status is changed to inactive and he is removed from BoxRec’s ratings.

[bbc.reporter]

It is very headshaking that there are people on social media that are predicting that this fight will be something similar to Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul. They certainly have not considered the age of Mike and Anthony and how Mike is a senior citizen already.

They are also speculating that Jake can knockout Anthony Joshua because according to them Anthony has a glass jaw. They will certainly witness the first time where Jake Paul will be carried on a stretcher by his brother Logan hehehe.

[fruktik]

A dying wish?! Well said. So be it. As I wrote earlier, it's time to put Paul in his place. A YouTuber is challenging professional boxers. That alone is absurd. What has this sport become? If Joshua gives in, I'll be forever disillusioned with the sport and will think it's all a sham that deserves no attention. That fact will become immediately obvious. I'd like to believe that this isn't all about big money. A serious boxer's reputation is at stake.

Jake is not a YouTube. He has been training and fighting as a professional for 5 years. Still a lot to do, train and achieve to be a real professional with chances to become a champion. But he isnt a random dude in boxing who has put gloves just to show off. Anyway, I agree that AJ reputation is at stake. For a fight of his level, there is only one option - to win by knockout. Any other fight outcome will be a minus for his reputation. If this was an exhibition fight, then no questions for AJ performance and match result. Since its a professional* fight, AJ needs to KO Jake or he will be a disgrace for boxing world.

I think if the fighters had fought at full strength, AJ would have easily won in the early rounds, because despite his career not having taken the best of turns, he's still a professional fighter with a very good punch. Paul, on the other hand, is still an amateur who mostly fights retirees, and after the fight with Tyson, there were doubts about whether the fight was without hidden agreements. At times, it seemed like Tyson was holding back from landing a punch.

My thoughts on this is that I am not confident in the Joshua winning despite being one of his top fans. His previous matches have ended in less than what I expected and it may be time to for him to hang his gloves. But one thing I know about this type of matches if it ever happens is that, it is now all about the money and not as much as the championship title anymore. So no matter who losses, they go home richer than they came. That is just the game.

[hyudien]

I haven't found a definitive answer online whether this is a professional fight for the belt or just an exhibition, but I think if this fight is serious, Anthony Joshua will win easily. As is known, he is a former world champion, has experience fighting at a high level and his technique is certainly honed. In contrast Jake Paul his ability is still at the average level of boxing, but if this fight actually happens, I can't imagine how much profit there will be.
