Former opponent of Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury calls out Jake Paul: “It won’t last 2 rounds”

Jake Paul has been offered a chance to stay in the heavyweight division following his controversial main event with Anthony Joshua.

The American superstar lasted six rounds with “AJ” before suffering a knockout blow that broke his jaw in two places. He impressed some fans by getting that far, dodging shots and somewhat frustrating the former two-time heavyweight champion with an unorthodox clinch.

Where Paul will go next remains to be seen, but there will be no shortage of willing dance partners.

Talk to IFLTVFormer world title challenger Dillian Whyte – who was also stopped by Joshua in a battle for the British belt in 2015 – has not blamed his compatriot for agreeing to the fight. In fact, he presented himself as Paul’s next opponent for the same financial reasons.

“No, I’ll take that. I’ll definitely take that. I’ll fight Jake Paul next if he wants to. But I’ll go after him. I’ll tell you, I’ll definitely put him away in one or two rounds. No way he’s going to get away with it. It’s such a big moral victory for Jake to say that he’s gone so many rounds with Anthony Joshua. That’s more rounds than previous world champions have had with him. It’s crazy, isn’t it? Well done to him.”

It’s an outcome Whyte believes Joshua should have forced, unimpressed by his old rival’s lack of urgency.

“He should have made it his mission to pace him in the first two rounds. Just cut the ring, he can run as much as he wants. Just apply pressure and punch him. But AJ seemed a little shy and unsure of himself at times…Jake threw overhands and they caught him – I was like ‘huh?'”

Despite the call, Paul likely to lose weight and target more big namesmaybe from the MMA world. There are also questions about whether or not he will fight again, with recent jaw surgery potentially leaving some commissions hesitant to approve a license.
