Jake Paul is a "massive frontrunner" to be the next fighter to face two-time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, promoter Eddie Hearn told Boxing News' Andi Purewal on Friday.

Prominent boxing broadcasters from Britain are aghast at news that Anthony Joshua, one of the best heavyweights that the country has produced, could be lining himself up to fight a former star on The Disney Channel, Jake Paul, in a real boxing bout.

Anthony Joshua has been accused of ‘selling his soul’ as talk over a potential fight with Jake Paul heats up. Joshua is looking for his next opponent after having been knocked out by Daniel Dubois in his last fight.
