Paul has carved a niche for himself in the boxing world over the past couple of years and has recorded wins over high-profile combat sports entities like Mike Tyson, Nate Diaz, Anderson Silva, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., and Mike Perry. However, Joshua is widely considered to be a nightmare matchup for Paul.

Given the massive size and power difference between the two, many believe Paul will struggle to put any kind of pressure on Joshua. Unsurprisingly, Paul is gearing up to face Joshua by training with heavyweight sparring partners, and it appears he hasn't been struggling to deal with their size or punching power.

"You know, it's not that bad, to be honest, so far in camp. I'm moving so much that they're not being able to load up their punches. So they're getting frustrated and falling on the ground trying to chase me. To be honest, I didn't even feel any of the punches so far. We'll see, I think we're bringing in some tougher guys... Still got some weeks to go."

Jake Paul issues a bold prediction for Anthony Joshua boxing match

Jake Paul believes he can push Anthony Joshua to his limits in the squared circle. The former Disney star recently shared his preview of the fight and claimed the Englishman is in for a "long night" on Dec.19.

In an interview with The Schmo, Paul recalled beating Joshua at 'Laser Tag' in Dubai and said:

"Man, speed. You know, I beat him in laser tag when we first met in Dubai. He didn’t see me coming. I was popping around the corners, shooting him nonstop, eliminating him multiple times. That’s because I’m tricky. I’m sneaky, and I’m fast. It’s going to be a long night for him. Long night. Long night."
