“Jake Paul will fight Joshua”, — write: sport.ua
Both boxers confirmed this information. The fight will be official and last a maximum of 8 rounds.
At the same time, Paul, who usually fights in the cruiserweight category, will have to move up to the heavyweight category of Joshua.
Anthony Joshua hasn’t fought in over a year since his knockout loss to Daniel Dubois last fall.
Paul defeated Julio Chavez in his last fight at the moment, and last year he defeated the legendary Mike Tyson. Jake had 13 professional fights and won 12 with one loss.
Earlier, Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn confirmed that Anthony is not going to give up the fight with Paul, who is not liked by many fans, because the fight will bring in “tens of millions of dollars”.
