Fans LOL as Jake Paul calls out Anthony Joshua

Jake Paul has certainly climbed the ranks - from being a YouTuber to becoming a boxer recognized by the boxing world. After defeating renowned fighters like Nate Diaz and, most recently, Mike Tyson, he has faced criticism for winning against opponents who were well past their prime and retired from the sport. Now, it looks like he has his sights set on a fighter who is very much relevant and active in the game, aiming to prove his strength to all the haters once and for all.

Recently, on his podcast BS w/ Jake Paul, the 28-year-old YouTuber-turned-boxer called out Anthony Joshua, expressing eagerness to fight him. He boldly stated, “I will f**king beat Anthony Joshua’s a*s. He doesn’t have a chin, has no skill, and he’s stiff.” His comments have sent social media into a frenzy, with boxing fans eager for the fight to be confirmed.

Hilarious Fan Reactions

While Jake Paul’s fans were thrilled by his bold statement, his critics hoped Joshua would accept the fight and give Paul a beating. Both sides quickly took to social media to share their hilarious takes.

"If Anthony Joshua loses to Jake Paul he needs to call it a career," a fan wrote.

Looks like this user is betting every penny on Anthony Joshua to win and believes Joshua should hang up his gloves if he loses to Jake Paul. Don’t disappoint him, Anthony!

"🤣Jake has to be trolling. He might not wake up after a fight with AJ," said another.

Let’s hope Jake Paul is just trolling and knows what he’s about to sign up for, as this fan suggests. Because if things go wrong, he might not wake up after that fight!

Jake Paul should take a look at this GIF before stepping into the ring with Joshua, as this fan helpfully suggests. After all, Joshua knocked out Francis Ngannou, a man known for knocking people out with just one punch!

"Mind you this an Olympic gold medalist and a guy who ran the HW division not too long ago😂," a fan pointed.

As this user points out, Anthony Joshua is an Olympic gold medalist and a former heavyweight boxing champion. So, if Jake somehow manages to beat him, we’ll know who’s representing the US in Olympic boxing in 2028.

"Buddy lost to Tommy Fury though…," commented another.

Perhaps Paul should consider beating Tommy Fury first, who defeated him in 2023, before taking on a behemoth like Joshua.

Jake Paul certainly seems to be ruffling the feathers of top fighters now and is determined to prove himself as a force to be reckoned with. So what’s it gonna be, Anthony Joshua? Will you accept his challenge?
