Jake Paul plans to knock out Anthony Joshua

Putting Anthony Joshua on the list of most overrated stars might be a promotional move since Jake Paul is set to face the Brit later this year.

The pair are to fight in a boxing match on December 19. Paul uploaded a video on his social media accounts recently and promised to KO the former heavyweight boxing champion.

"Make no mistake, this is the biggest fight of my career. I’m walking into the lion’s den. I’m doing something that no one else has ever done before. I, Jake Joseph Paul, will knock out, defeat, and embarrass Anthony Joshua on Friday, Dec. 19, live on Netflix... The biggest fight of 2025. USA vs. the UK. He's got the belts, the size, the history, but I have the b*lls. Be careful what you wish for. Jake vs. Joshua, judgment day."
