Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua might fight each other soon. The potential match-up has got people talking, and some are comparing it to when Floyd Mayweather Jr. fought Conor McGregor.
Ben Davison, Joshua's trainer, isn't happy about the idea. He told reporters:
"It's crazy. I think it's really dangerous. This is a sport that we love, and I think we need to protect it. Anthony Joshua is one of the most dangerous men in the world that you can get in a ring with."
Davison pointed out that this fight would be different from Mayweather vs McGregor. He said:
"We saw it with Francis Ngannou, one of the most resilient on the planet in one of the toughest combat sports there is. It's one of those cases, but at the same time, it's different with Floyd. It's not like someone like AJ, who can rip your head off with one punch."
Joshua is a professional heavyweight boxer with a lot of experience. Paul, on the other hand, started as a YouTuber and has only recently turned to boxing. This big difference in their backgrounds is why some people are worried about the fight.
Eddie Hearn, Joshua's promoter and the CEO of Matchroom Boxing, thinks there's a 50-50 chance the fight will happen. Nakisa Bidarian, who runs Jake Paul's promotion company, has also been talking up the possibility of the match.
These kinds of fights between boxers and non-boxers have become popular lately. They often make a lot of money and get a lot of attention. But they also raise questions about safety in the sport.
The buzz around this potential fight continues to grow on social media, with fans and critics alike weighing in on whether it should happen.
