Jake Paul has made a bizarre career out of boxing. The YouTuber turned fighter has faced former MMA champions and aging boxers. His opponents have ranged from Ben Askren to Anderson Silva to Mike Tyson. Critics constantly question his legitimacy as a real boxer. But Paul keeps finding ways to generate massive interest and paychecks.<\/p>
His recent exhibition against Gervonta Davis got cancelled unexpectedly though. ‘Tank’ pulled out for reasons that remain somewhat unclear. This left Paul (12-1<\/a>) scrambling to find another opponent for his Netflix deal. His team reportedly reached out to several big names in boxing. Most people figured he would land someone safe and marketable. Then Ring Magazine’s Mike Coppinger dropped an absolute bombshell on social media.<\/p> Coppinger posted on November 12th that Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua fight rumors were becoming reality. According to his sources, both sides were finalizing a deal. The boxing<\/a> match would happen in December in Miami on Netflix. Paul would be stepping up massively to face a former heavyweight champion. Coppinger even gave Paul major props for taking such a dangerous fight.<\/p> “Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul are finalizing a deal for a heavyweight fight on Netflix in December in Miami, sources tell ringmagazine.
