After losing out on a fight against Canelo Alvarez, Jake Paul has his eyes set on former Heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua. Earlier this week, veteran boxing reporter Dan Rafael revealed that Paul was looking for a big name to fight and even contacted Gervonta Davis about a boxing match. Unfortunately for Paul, Davis is tied up with a Lamont Roach rematch.

During a recent podcast appearance, Paul called out Joshua to a fight because he believes he can shock the world and defeat the former heavyweight champion.
“I know my boundaries, I want to fight Anthony Joshua, because I know that I would beat Anthony Joshua’s a–. He doesn’t have a chin, and he has no skill, and he’s stiff. I love you Anthony, we’re friends, but I want to fight you.”
Jake Paul just called out Anthony Joshua 😅

Fans reacted to Paul’s latest call-out.
I admire the confidence / immense delusion Jake Paul has.
It’s what has brought him success in his social media career and forays to the ring.
But this is the height of absurdity. https://t.co/iOrzynz0D7

It’ll be interesting to see what Joshua thinks about Paul calling him out.
