Jake Paul given blueprint to beat Anthony Joshua ahead of heavyweight showdown

Jake Paul has been advised to 'stick and move' if he hopes to defeat Anthony Joshua, as speculation about a potential fight continues to intensify.

The 'Problem Child' is steadily making a name for himself in the boxing world. Last month, Paul secured one of his most significant victories against former middleweight world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Following this triumph, the YouTuber-turned-boxer reiterated his desire to fight Joshua.

Paul has repeatedly challenged the two-time world champion over recent months. Earlier this year, the pair had a brief phone conversation and verbally agreed to a match. The American was present at Wembley Stadium for Oleksandr Usyk's recent victory over Daniel Dubois.

In a chat with DAZN before the fight, Paul seemed to confirm that the bout with Joshua will occur next year. "Yeah 100 per cent it's going to happen. We're going to do the unthinkable and create one of the biggest fights in the history of boxing," he declared, reports All Out Fighting.

"It's not even about it being realistic or not, it's going to happen so fasten your seatbelts. And when I knock him out I'll go down in the history books forever." As the prospect of a fight becomes increasingly likely, the American's former sparring partner - Anthony Taylor - has shared what the 'Problem Child' needs to do to triumph over the Brit.

In an interview with CasinoHawks, Taylor offered his perspective on the potential heavyweight clash, stating: "Anthony Joshua moves well. Jake moves well. But Jake is a little smaller, so if Jake Paul's gonna fight Anthony Joshua-go for it. Do it without regrets. Say that, 'I fought a world champ and a boxer who's a potential Hall of Famer.'".

"Do it with no regrets, and have fun while you're at it. Win or lose-you're having fun. That's all that matters. It's David and Goliath. But if you want to beat Anthony Joshua, you just gotta stick and move, big dog. Don't sit there with him. Don't sit there with him. For the love of God, don't sit there with him."

Numerous critics are entirely opposed to the concept of the duo squaring off. However, Paul appears genuinely committed, even prepared to accept just ONE PER CENT of the fight purse. Joshua's coach, Ben Davison, recently offered his assessment of a potential bout between the pair - and he's similarly unenthusiastic about the prospect of the Brit facing the social media star.

"I don't like all that," he told Boxing Scene. "First and foremost, how can people even talk about that? Two, where's the safety aspect in boxing? Do you know what I mean? That is a serious risk with something going wrong. Unfortunately, it might take something like that for people to be like, 'Hold on, we've got to reconfigure this'. But somebody would pass it; somebody would allow it; somebody would sanction it."
