While Paul is among the most controversial personalities in boxing today, he's racked up quite a resume for himself and has made it clear that he's looking to become a world champion someday. In June, Paul hinted at pursuing a fight against Joshua and revealed that the Englishman was open to it.

"I think the fight can absolutely happen. I’m looking at it as Jake versus Joshua, which is quite biblical, and it’s quite impactful in many ways... I think size-wise, we can get comfortable with it, and I think experience-wise, Jake is learning very fast and growing, and Joshua is a little long in the tooth. So it could be a very interesting matchup, and we’re actively discussing it with Matchroom."

He continued:

"I think we’re looking at it happening at the start of 2026. It’s public that AJ was taking a little time away; I think he had a little surgery. So once he’s ready, and once Jake is ready, we’re going to squarely focus on that. Wembley’s definitely a possibility. Jake said he’d like to do it there. He likes the idea of going in and hearing 90,000 people booing him." [H/t: Sky Sports News]

When Jake Paul vowed to "beat Anthony Joshua's a**" in fiery callout

Earlier this year, Jake Paul issued a bold callout of Anthony Joshua and questioned the Englishman's skills in the squared circle. 'The Problem Child' also claimed he'd dominate 'AJ' in the ring.

In an episode of the BS w/ Jake Paul podcast, the former Disney star called for a fight against Joshua and said:

I know my boundaries. Here’s the thing: I want to fight Anthony Joshua, exclusive, because I know that I will f**king beat Anthony Joshua’s a**. He doesn’t have a chin, and he has no skill, and he’s stiff. And I love you, Anthony. We’re friends, all this sh*t, but I want to fight you."
