Joshua Suggested Potential Opponents for Jake: Named Two Options

Former unified Heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua shared his thoughts on his former opponent, Jake Paul, and suggested who he might face in the ring next.

“Jake has spirit. He has heart. He tried his best, and I take my hat off to him because, firstly, many fighters wouldn't step into the ring with me, but Jake did. And secondly, even when he was knocked down, he kept trying to get back up.

So, America, I think you have someone who potentially—if they still have the heart for it—can come back, brush the dust off their shoulders, and step into the ring again. Maybe they could sell out this same stadium somewhere in 2026. Perhaps against Gervonta Davis, Ryan Garcia, who knows,” Joshua said.

Joshua (29-4, 26 KOs) knocked out Jake (12-2, 7 KOs) in the 6th round. It was later revealed that Paul suffered a double jaw fracture. The American shared the results of his surgery following the fight.
