In what may seem like a suicide mission on paper, Jake Paul steps into the ring to take on former two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua. This fight feels set up for Paul to “win” in perception by simply lasting a few rounds, or potentially longer against an elite heavyweight. However, I just don’t understand why Joshua would agree to that, when he has a £150 Million net-worth and is still an active fighter, with genuine future aspirations— including a blockbuster fight with Tyson Fury in 2026. Anything other than a first round stoppage for Joshua would be a black eye for both Joshua and for boxing— which will forever be tied to AJ’s legacy.
This episode also covers Andrew Tate’s boxing debut tomorrow night. Tate has never fought in boxing before, however, “Top G” is a former professional kickboxer, and his first act as CEO was to install himself as DeMoor’s challenger. There has to be good reason for that. Tate wouldn’t risk his entire reputation and give his detractors any sense of satisfaction by losing to Chase DeMoor— a former college football star, turned reality television actor, turned influencer and professional boxer.
