Some fans may believe Jake Paul is taking on more than he can handle, but his ambitions for his boxing career are bolder than ever.

Over the years, Paul has stepped into the ring for several high-profile celebrity boxing bouts, frequently facing former UFC fighters. He maintains that he’s taking his career seriously, with his ultimate goal being championship gold in the near future — especially after his victory over 58-year-old former undisputed heavyweight champion Mike Tyson last November.

But now, Paul has his sights set on a new potential opponent — one who could present an even greater challenge than Alvarez.

During a recent episode of BS w/ Jake Paul, the YouTuber-turned-boxer challenged former unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, boldly claiming he could edge out "AJ" in a fight.

I know my boundaries; I want to fight Anthony Joshua, because I know I will f**king beat Anthony Joshua's ass," Jake Paul said. "He doesn't have a chin, and he has no skill and he's stiff. I love you Anthony, we'e friends, all this sh*t but I want to fight you.

"The Problem Child" also took to X, posting a photo of what appeared to be a phone call with Joshua. Teasing a potential showdown, he captioned it: "Look who called. 2026 @anthonyjoshua."

Jake Paul boasts an 11-1 record and is riding a five-fight win streak. His only setback came in February 2023, when he suffered a split-decision loss to Tommy Fury.

Meanwhile, "AJ" holds a professional record of 28-4 and was last seen in action this past September, where he endured a brutal fifth-round knockout loss to reigning IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois.
