One of the most anticipated upcoming boxing bout is the clash between former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul. Both boxers are getting ready for the bout, which will take place on December 19th at the Kaseya Centre in Miami, Florida. Ahead of the clash, several speculations have arisen, and recently, UFC veteran Demetrious Johnson went viral for the same reason. 

Following his unexpected fight cancellation with Gervonta Davis, Jake Paul urgently searched for a new opponent, prompting Joshua to volunteer. Fans immediately expressed disbelief at the matchup, questioning Paul’s safety while criticizing the size disparity between the two. 

Despite the overwhelming doubts, Paul has displayed unwavering confidence and intense dedication throughout training, emphasizing his determination to silence critics. Ahead of the highly discussed showdown, Demetrious Johnson shared a bizarre podcast prediction with Sean O’Malley, in favor of Jake Paul. 

Anthony Joshua has been knocked out by some weird a** shots. Jake Paul can land one of those shots. If Anthony Joshua gets on his bicycle and fights him like a boxer, he can destroy Jake Paul. But I don’t see it happening. I think he’s gonna try to prove a point…I feel like Jake Paul can potentially knockout Anthony Joshua.

Jake Paul was initially mocked as a laughing stock in boxing, yet he gradually transformed into a prominent face of the sport. Over time, he challenged numerous retired UFC fighters like Tyron Woodley, Nate Diaz, Anderson Silva, and secured victories against them. His growing reputation expanded further when he shared the ring with legendary boxer Mike Tyson, ultimately winning by unanimous decision.

The fight streamed live on Netflix and quickly became one of the platform’s most-watched and widely discussed sporting events. Similar to Johnson’s breakdown, Paul had also pointed out how AJ has been knocked down by his opponents. 

In his last bout, the UK fighter got knocked out by Daniel Dubois while fighting for the IBF heavyweight title. Jake Paul has promised to achieve a similar success by potentially knocking out AJ in their upcoming heavyweight clash.

Despite his accomplishments, Anthony Joshua clearly represents Jake Paul’s biggest challenge, carrying unmatched power and experience that dwarfs Paul’s previous opponents. Fans eagerly anticipate whether Paul can overcome Joshua’s lethal skillset and continue redefining expectations surrounding his unconventional boxing journey.

Paul has pushed himself intensely during camp, even sparring with professional heavyweights to prepare for the dangerous upcoming bout. Despite his committed efforts, rumors suggest these heavyweight sparring sessions have not produced favorable outcomes for the ‘Problem Child’.

Ryan Garcia recently discussed the situation and expressed serious doubts about Paul’s readiness during a livestream appearance with popular content creator DDG. The controversial boxer predicted a devastating conclusion for Paul, highlighting concerns about his defensive awareness under relentless pressure.

He getting knocked out bro. I heard word that he’s getting beat up in sparring by these heavyweights. I’m leaking some (expletive). He (Joshua) got like 50 lbs on him (Paul). This time, it’s a big miss, he’s getting slept cold, bro.

Garcia reportedly turned down a $20 million offer to fight Jake Paul because he prioritized a world title fight with Mario Barrios instead. Other veterans, such as Deontay Wilder, claimed he believes the Paul vs. Joshua fight was scripted due to weight and experience differences. Many have labelled the pairing a money-grab spectacle rather than pure sport, reflecting promotional value instead of genuine contest.
