Joshua's Perspective

Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs) is coming off a knockout loss to Daniel Dubois in September 2024. A fight against Paul could serve as a tune-up before facing higher-ranked opponents. He is also without a full-time trainer, experimenting with several coaches recently.

Paul's Perspective

Paul, known for taking on challenging fights, sees Joshua as a significant step up in competition. He has stated that fighting someone bigger than him would silence his critics.

Financial Implications

Eddie Hearn has acknowledged the financial appeal of the fight, stating that a "run-out against Jake Paul for a lot of money" is an attractive prospect. DAZN, with whom Joshua has an exclusive deal, would need to step aside for the fight to occur on Netflix.
