But only 24 hours, he posted in a huge U-turn: “I’m offering Tommy Fury $3M to fight me in 2025. “The number is $4M if he can legally get into the US.

You claim to be a good businessman, if you want to talk business properly, I’m there. “But don’t throw me stupid offers you know won’t get accepted.”It’s clear to see that you’re just using the money as an excuse to get away from this rematch.

      Jake Paul claims he has agreement to fight Anthony Joshua and reveals date… but brother Logan fears he’s on DRUGS

      by

      JAKE PAUL claims he has an agreement to fight Anthony Joshua in 2026 – prompting his brother Logan to ask if he is on DRUGS. YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake brazenly called out two-time heavyweight world champion AJ. Logan Paul asked if brother Jake was on drugs after calling out Anthony JoshuaJoshua pictured with Jake Paul in 2022And even Logan – who is one year his senior – asked whether it was a prank or not.He said: “You called out Anthony Joshua – were you on cocaine? Why did you do that?” Jake, 28, responded: “To beat the heavyweight champion of the world. His chin’s gone.” Logan, 29, replied: “But he’s still Anthony Joshua.” READ MORE IN BOXINGTo which Jake hit back: “Which is stiff, and no rhythm and no skill. Just power.”Logan asked once more if Jake was “serious” about the fight and he said with no hesitation: “Yeah. In 2026, we already talked.” Jake first called out Joshua with a series of savage swipes on his podcast.He said: “I want to fight Anthony Joshua – exclusive – because I know I will f***ing beat Anthony Joshua’s ass.Most read in BoxingCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS”He doesn’t have a chin, and he has no skill and he’s stiff. I love you Anthony, we’e friends, all this s*** but I want to fight you.”That promoted AJ to quite literally call Jake’s bluff by phoning him up – with the two revealing their chat on the blower to tease a 2026 fight. Eddie Hearn lifts lid on Anthony Joshua vs Jake Paul latestJoshua, 35, is coming off a September knockout loss to Daniel Dubois, 27, in September and a recent injury has delayed his return. Jake meanwhile has 11 wins and only one loss as a boxer, coming via split-decision to Tommy Fury in 2023.His most recent win was an eight-round points win over heavyweight great Mike Tyson, 58, in November.The fight was marred in controversy amid the age gap but still a massive 100 MILLION tuned in to watch on Netflix.It led Jake into shock talks for a May 3 cruiserweight bout against Mexican great Canelo Alvarez, 34, in Las Vegas. But Canelo walked away from the deal to instead sign a four-fight deal with Saudi Arabia’s Turki Alalshikh.So Jake turned his attention to AJ and promoter Eddie Hearn revealed his star client is on board for the bout.Hearn predicted it would earn Joshua £100MILLION and sent out a fierce word of warning to prankster-gone-prizefighter Jake. He told SunSport: “I wouldn’t be surprised if Jake did it, honestly, because I think he likes a challenge, but he likes the money.”But medically, you’ve gotta be very careful in that fight because that’s dangerous. “That’s no joke, you’re not fighting a 60 year old man, you’re fighting a heavyweight in his prime, that could actually remove your head from your neck and shoulders.”It’s also the fight game, it’s prize fighting, so it’s definitely not a fight AJ’s phoning me out going, ‘Make the Jake Paul fight.’ “I don’t know, I mean the world is so mad we’d do it. But you can’t come out and go, AJ’s stiff, AJ’s got no chin… in 2026, I’ll be ready for him.’ “What about 2025? We don’t have an opponent yet, so if you really want the fight we’ll do it in 2025.”But you might have to wait for AJ to get to 60 to give yourself a chance in that fight.”Hearn has worked with Jake and his Most Valuable Promotions partner Nakisa Bidarian in the past. That included Katie Taylor’s two thrilling wins over MVP poster girl Amanda Serrano and their anticipated trilogy bout on July 11. But Hearn also admitted he had not yet officially reached out for talks with Jake’s camp over a fight with Joshua. He said: “Once they said 2026, it’s just clickbait at that point.”I do acknowledge that Jake is crazy enough, like the Canelo stuff was quite crazy.READ MORE SUN STORIES”But at least Jake’s bigger than Canelo.

      ‘They think he’s really good’ – Canelo Alvarez reveals he had to reassure his worried daughter about fighting Jake Paul

      CANELO ALVAREZ had to reassure even his youngest daughter that Jake Paul is no match for him. The Mexican boxing great was in line to face YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul on May 3 in Las Vegas. Canelo Alvarez with his youngest daughter MiaCredit: @fernandagmtzJake Paul was in talks to fight CaneloCredit: GettyThe deal eventually came to a dramatic collapse – but the shock mega-fight was the talk of playground for Canelo’s youngest daughter Mia. Canelo told SunSport in an exclusive interview: “Maybe her friends told her about the fight.”Because the fathers of her friends told them and everything talking about it – because they don’t know anything about boxing.”That kind of people don’t know anything about boxing and they think Jake Paul is really good fighter. Which he is a fighter, but it’s levels in boxing. READ MORE IN BOXING”And that’s why my daughter told me, ‘You’re gonna fight with Jake Paul?’ And I said, ‘He’s not on my level my love, don’t worry!’ “I think it’s for that fact that people don’t how boxing works.” Paul, 28, was closing in on a blockbuster deal to face Canelo, 34, in a 200lb cruiserweight clash the the T-Mobile Arena. But Canelo walked away at the 11th hour to instead sign a bumper four-bout deal with Saudi Arabia’s Turki Alalshikh.

And he most recently caused controversy after bringing Mike Tyson out of retirement at the age of 58. But still a sensational 100 MILLION tuned in to watch the American’s eight-round points win on Netflix. So Canelo has not completely closed the door on Paul – although he struggles to even refer to it as a fight. He said: “Calling it a fight is very difficult for me, man. It’s for me more like event more than a fight and this is not the moment.”Jake Paul beat Mike Tyson in his last fightCredit: GettyCanelo fights William Scull next for the undisputed super-middleweight titlesCredit: Getty More
