I've just read that the most famous Saudi boxing promoter, Turki Alalshikh, is planning to organise a fight between Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua:

I don't think anybody would expect such a twist for Joshua. From his perspective, that would probably be the biggest money fight he could hope for. After he got brutally KO'ed by Daniel Dubois in his last fight, many fans have written him off.

I have my doubts whether Paul would actually sign a contract and fight AJ. Talk is cheap. And if he does, I would have serious doubts if the fight will be honest or rigged. Let's be honest, even if Joshua is past his prime and even if we give Paul credit for all his previous fights and acknowledge he's not just a YouTuber anymore - we all know that if both fight at 100%, Paul would get KO'd.

Perhaps what Paul can hold as his card is that he bet Mike Tyson, a heavyweight. But that is a totally different story though as AJ is very much active and although he might have lost some fights, he could still pull that trigger.

So not sure if Jake Paul is willing to do this, although as what we have said, Turki has a lot of money and so he can offer Jake money that he can't refuse. As for AJ, he might think that it is going to be an easy fight for him and obviously the money should also be good before he can accept this fight.
