Jake Paul has never been short on confidence, but his latest remarks ahead of the December 19 showdown with Anthony Joshua at the Kaseya Center in Miami have raised eyebrows across the boxing world.
“On paper the cards are stacked against me. But really, in terms of boxing, I’m a better boxer than AJ," he said in an interview yesterday.
"Which is hilarious to say but he’s got two left feet, he’s stiff. If I were his coach I’d put him in a dance class before trying to box.”
Paul doubled down, promising: “I’m going to go in there and display all my skills.” He even vowed to “beat Anthony Joshua up, shock the world, and pull off the biggest upset in sports history.”
The sportsbooks, however, tell a very different story. Joshua is priced as a heavy favorite, with odds suggesting an early knockout is the most likely outcome.
