Anthony Joshua’s trainer delivers damning verdict on proposed Jake Paul fight
The safety fears surrounding Antony Joshua’s potential Jake Paul fight
- Anthony Joshua's trainer, Ben Davison, has voiced strong safety concerns regarding a potential fight between Joshua and Jake Paul, calling it a 'serious risk'.
- Davison criticised calls for the fight, highlighting the potential for serious injury and questioning the safety standards within boxing.
- Jake Paul, a YouTuber-turned-boxer, recently defeated Julio Cesar Chavez Jr and is now ranked No 14 in the WBA cruiserweight division.
- Joshua is recovering from a knockout loss to Daniel Dubois last September and subsequent elbow surgery, with his promoter hinting at a comeback fight before the end of the year.
- While a fight with Tyson Fury is being targeted for 2026, Davison suggests Joshua might need a 'tune-up' fight due to his extended time away from the sport and recent injuries.
