Jake Paul calls out heavyweight superstar with ‘no chin’ following Canelo snub

Jake Paul has challenged a boxing legend, after his negotiations to fight Canelo Alvarez fell by the wayside.

According to reports, ‘The Problem Child’ was on the cusp of securing a monster clash with the Mexican legend.

But now, he has a new foe in mind, and incredibly, this boxing star would make for an even tougher task than the man he was initially meant to take on.

Regardless, the polarizing boxer is adamant he has the tools to get the job done.

On an episode of BS with Jake Paul, the Cleveland brawler fired brutal shots in the direction of the former unified heavyweight world champion.

He claimed: “I know my boundaries; I want to fight Anthony Joshua, because I know I will f—— beat Anthony Joshua’s a–

“He doesn’t have a chin, and he’s got no skill, and he’s stiff. I love you, Anthony, we’re friends. But I want to fight you.”
