A shock fight between Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua has emerged as a possibility this week. Paul was last in action in November when he defeated boxing legend Mike Tyson, in a controversial bout due to ‘Iron Mike’ now being 58-years-old and having not competed for nearly two decades.

Anthony Joshua is eager to fight Jake Paul, according to Eddie Hearn, with the two already in direct contact to make it happen. Paul last fought in October when he beat another former heavyweight champion – albeit one 31 years older than him in Mike Tyson –and is now desperate to secure a bout with another of the sport’s biggest names.
