He’d fight anyone to be honest with you. If Jake Paul wants to step up and fight Anthony Joshua, he’ll need the relevant insurance.“The only thing that was disappointing was he says 2026. That’s like me saying, LA Olympics for the surfing in 2028, I’ll be there.’”Do it in 2025 if you really want to do it. You’re not going to get really much better at this stage.”I don’t know.
