Jake Paul has claimed he is making an astronomical amount of money to take on Anthony Joshua in a huge mega fight.
After his controversial fight against Gervonta Davis was canceled recently following an investigation into recent claims about ‘Tank’, Jake Paul revisited talks with former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua.
Although it seemed as though the crazy mismatch wouldn’t come to fruition, it was officially announced earlier this Monday that the fight will happen on December 19.
Following the announcement, the British heavyweight provided his reaction, claiming that he will break the internet by putting an end to ‘The Problem Child’.

What chance do you give Jake Paul of beating Anthony Joshua? The most notable being when he dragged Mike Tyson out of retirement last year for a highly controversial clash on Netflix.
However, this may be the first time throughout his short tenure in the sport that the 28-year-old will likely receive some respect from the fanbase and the fighters.
And ahead of the huge mega fight, ‘The Problem Child’ has made a hugely bold claim that he will be earning at least $267 million for the fight, which would be staggering.
Despite that, it is unclear whether the notorious troll is once again trolling the fans, although he will likely be making another astronomical amount of money to step in the ring.
“How much of a bonus will Joshua earn if he doesn’t knock you out in the first few rounds? Is that in your opponents contract again?” one fan commented.
“That’s a pretty good payday for taking a 30 minute beating, not gonna lie,” a second fan said.
Anthony Joshua claims other fighters will turn to these bouts in the futureThroughout his career, Joshua has been involved in some huge bouts, having fought Oleksandr Usyk twice along with several other big fights.
But despite his successful career, Joshua couldn’t turn down what will likely be one of the biggest paydays of his career, and he has claimed that other fighters will take similar opportunities in the future.
“Whether you like it or not, I’m here to do massive numbers, have big fights and break every record whilst keeping cool, calm and collected. Mark my words, you’ll see a lot more fighters take these opportunities in the future,” he said in a press release.
