Fury is arguably the only legitimate boxer of his size that Paul has faced so far in his career. Now he is up against AJ, one of the finest of this era, and significantly bigger than Paul.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">No easy way out. 17 days <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/csWYueFfX8\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/csWYueFfX8<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Jake Paul (@jakepaul) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jakepaul\/status\/1995482097218105828?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">December 1, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"4x\">Usyk knows Joshua in and out, having shared the ring with the British heavyweight for 24 rounds. While the Ukrainian won both fights, Joshua asked some stern questions of Usyk in their rematch. Now, Joshua is even training with Usyk&#8217;s team for the upcoming Paul fight. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"50\">The two-time undisputed heavyweight champion has now shared his take on Jake vs Joshua.<\/p>\n<p>Oleksandr Usyk compares Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/01jyyhjnmr0smhf3tnzk.jpg\" alt=\"Jake Paul\" title=\"Jake Paul\" width=\"3973\" height=\"2234\" class=\"undefined w-full w-full blur-[5px]\" q:id=\"5c\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Jake Paul | IMAGO \/ ZUMA Press Wire<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5g\">Usyk thinks there is no comparison between Paul and Joshua and believes Paul is a Fiat while Joshua is a Rolls-Royce. Speaking to Boxing King Media, he said:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;[It&#8217;s] dangerous for Anthony and for Jake Paul maybe. A Rolls-Royce can&#8217;t have any kind of competition with a Fiat. It makes no sense. Anthony is Rolls-Royce, Jake Paul is a Fiat. So, big big problem for him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Oleksandr Usyk<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5m\">Joshua has faced legends throughout his entire career, and for over a decade has been in world championship-level fights. Paul, meanwhile, has only been fighting for around five years and his opponents have mainly consisted of elderly boxers and MMA fighters.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5p\">Paul risks getting brutally knocked out by facing someone like Joshua. Fans, though, will have to give him his due respect if he somehow manages to hang in there against AJ, though.<\/p>\n<p>Jake Paul makes weird Anthony Joshua comparison<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-14\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5z\">Paul has kept up his trolling ahead of the fight and recently compared AJ winning the Olympic Gold Medal with him winning a local wrestling tournament. In a recent <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/jakepaul\/status\/1995185649704436005\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">social media post<\/a>, Paul wrote:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In 2012 Anthony Joshua won the Olympic gold medal in boxing, but I won my local (very competitive btw) wrestling tournament.
