Joseph Parker: The struggle proposed by Anthony Joshua with Jake Paul “doesn’t make sense” for an old champion

Joseph Parker says: “It does not make sense” For the former heavy weight champion, Anthony Joshua fought youtuber, Jake Paul. Parker has to fight the highest fighters so that it is considered “serious” about sport.

The temporary heavy weight champion of Wbo, Parker, claims that Paul (12-1, 7 kos) has done well for himself since he became a professional in 2020, but he is not “a real boxer”. Jake has won $ 100 million in his short five -year boxing career. With this type of money made in such a short time, Joshua cannot be blamed for wanting to face it instead of one of the least popular “real” heavy weights.

Joshua’s biggest payment is still

Promoter Eddie Hearn says that Joshua-Paul’s struggle will take place in 2026. “I really believe (the struggle) in early 2026,” Hearn told Sky Sports. Hearn believes that the struggle will be the “greatest payment of Joshua ever”, and is understandable. Jake Paul has a massive monitoring on social media with millions of subscribers on Instagram, X, Tiktok and YouTube.

“Aj was a great champion when he was a champion. If he is serious about boxing and he is serious for wanting to participate in the sport at the upper level, this struggle makes no sense,” said Wbo -Paret’s temporary heavyweight champion Joseph Parker Sky Sports Boxing About Anthony Joshua can fight Jake Paul in 2026.

It is not clear if Parker continues to keep a shin of hope that Joshua will look towards his direction to give him the opportunity to avenge his loss against him seven years ago. Realistic, I do not give Parker any hope of fighting AJ. There is no advantage for Joshua to fight Parker again, as it is not popular compared to other heavy weights. In addition, Joshua already defeated him.

Joshua defeated Wbo Parker’s heavy weight champion on March 31, 2018 in a unified struggle. It was a strange struggle involved by referee Giuseppe Quartarone, who often separated the two fighters when they were nearby. Some fans believe this prevented Parker from being taken away.

Paul is a “real boxer”?

“Jake Paul has done well to promote and say that he is one of the best in the world. But if you look at it, he is not really a real boxer. He is a youtuber who comes in boxing and he has done well. But if Aj wants to be serious, he has to fight against the highest fighters in the world,” said Parker.

No matter if Parker sees Jake Paul as “real boxer”. What is important here is that his promoter, Hearn, believes that Joshua can make more money fighting him than he can against the other fighters apart from Tyson Fury.
