Heavyweight star blasts Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua matchup as “ridiculous,” says, “AJ is above that…”
Anthony Joshua: The talk about one of the most controversial fights in Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua has not died down yet.
Paul has made some enemies in his time, but has won over stars like Rampage Jackson, who hated the star for beating UFC fighters.
But Joshua seemingly wants to make the fight with Jake Paul, who revealed a serious message AJ sent him about a fight.
While Oleksandr Usyk crushed Daniel Dubois in the fifth round of their Wembley showdown last week, we could be seeing an altogether different prospect if the ‘Problem Child’ squares off with AJ.
Dave Allen calls Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua ‘ridiculous’, picks Area champion to be favourite against YouTuber
Even though conversations haven’t slowed, heavyweight favourite Dave Allen has lambasted the fight because of the influencer’s ability.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Allen said: “Probably a bit late with this one, but I’m talking about it today, ridiculous, southern area cruiserweight champion is actually, I think, Lewis Oakford, who Pat stopped in a round.

“Now, Jake Paul is around that level. Oakford v Jake Paul, who would win? I’d make Oakford the favourite actually. I’d make him the favourite against Jake Paul.”
“Now imagine me saying he’s going to box Anthony Joshua, you’d say what the f – – -k you on about,” he continued.
“Jake Paul, I don’t think, is as good as him; he only fought one active pro fighter, and he lost.”
The loss against Tommy Fury saw the 28-year-old go back to what he knew in the form of Nate Diaz, but then compete against two club fighters to have more professionals on the record.
In his honest opinion, the ‘White Rhino’ can’t see the fight materialising in the near future.
He explained: “Him and Joshua, I don’t think it will happen, I think Anthony Joshua will see himself as above that; he has got all the money in the world anyway.”

After a successful rematch knockout win over Johnny Fisher, the 33-year-old has announced he has now agreed to a fight.
While he was hoping to fight for the British title, plans were scuppered by the British Boxing Board ordering Frazer Clarke to face Jeamie TKV.
Earlier in the video, he revealed: “He sent me a bunch of names, five names, and I said ‘f- – -ing hell Ed, I thought I might get a bit of an easy touch’ he said ‘no’, win one of them and your next fight will be a super duper fight.
“October in Sheffield I’ll headline… He will be the favourite, I think it’s a hard fight because he’s a big, powerful man, every time he’s won, bar one, he’s knocked them out.”
It has led to speculation that it could be against Arslanbek Makhmudov, but confirmation on the name will have to wait.
