Jake Paul<\/a> is just days away from stepping through the ropes with Anthony Joshua<\/a> \u2014 a fight few could have predicted would happen, but one with an outcome most believe is a foregone conclusion.<\/p>\n

The YouTuber-turned-fighter will face the two-time unified heavyweight champion in a professionally sanctioned bout, stepping up his level of competition dramatically from the likes of a long-retired Mike Tyson or inactive Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Seconds Out<\/a>, former heavyweight champion Shannon Briggs<\/a> \u2014 who worked with Paul early on in his career alongside his brother, Logan \u2014 said that the fight really has only one outcome and that will be the end of the American\u2019s campaign as we know it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt looks like it\u2019s gonna be the end, on paper. If Joshua hit him the way he\u2019s supposed to hit him. I don\u2019t know what type of rules they\u2019ve got involved, but if it\u2019s an all-out war, it should be [Jake\u2019s] last fight. Like I keep saying, he\u2019s got enough money to pay for the hospital bills, so it\u2019s okay.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked if his skillset has improved, Briggs praised Paul\u2019s drive to carve a name out for himself in the sport.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I [worked with him] when he was young, he had the determination and he\u2019s done a phenomenal job as a guy who got into boxing late and dedicated himself to fight Mike Tyson, to fight all the fights he\u2019s had, so he\u2019s done great.\u201d<\/p>\n

Finally, his advice to the 28-year-old is as follows.<\/p>\n

\u201cGo all out, champ. Go forward and give it all you got. It don\u2019t matter. Just go all out. You never know, champ.\u201d<\/p>\n

The fight takes place this Friday at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida, home to the NBA\u2019s Miami Heat.
