Recently, news of a possible megafight between former British world champion Anthony Joshua and American superstar Jake Paul has emerged, according to comments from Eddie Hearn.

Paul has previously spoken openly about wanting to fight Anthony Joshua, including a self-defeating statement, claiming that Joshua is fragile, doesn't move in the ring, and is easy to beat.

Paul and Joshua talked by phone and agreed to a future fight.

Joshua, 35, is still recovering from elbow surgery and is looking to return to the ring before the end of 2025.

Hearn has confirmed that they have discussed a possible Paul-Joshua fight, but he doesn't guarantee it will happen, but admits it is a possibility.

Initially, it is known that Joshua is looking to fight Tyson Fury in 2026, but he hasn't ruled out a possible fight against Jake Paul, although he indicates that it is an unequal fight but with very high financial implications.
