Could Jake Paul Actually Beat Anthony Joshua? Tommy Fury’s Bold Response Reveals All

In a shocking display of animosity, Tommy Fury tore into Jake Paul on March 26, 2025, after the internet sensation made bold and controversial claims about Anthony Joshua. Paul, who has made waves in the combat sports world, has sparked heated debates not just with his fights but also with his often inflammatory statements. This time, it was his dismissive comments about Joshua’s abilities that set Fury off.

Jake Paul’s Bold Claims: Is Anthony Joshua Really ‘Chinny’?

Jake Paul, known for his brash and unapologetic approach, recently called out Anthony Joshua, the former two-time heavyweight champion and Olympic gold medalist, labeling him “chinny”—a” term suggesting a fighter’s susceptibility to being knocked down or stunned. In an interview earlier this month, Paul confidently stated, “I know I will f****** beat Anthony Joshua’s ass. He doesn’t have a chin, has no skill, and he’s stiff.”

Paul’s statement didn’t end there; he added a veneer of friendliness to his tirade, saying, “I love you, Anthony; we’re friends; all this s***. But I want to fight you.” While Paul’s challenge may have been delivered with a smile, it clearly struck a nerve in the world of boxing, particularly with Tommy Fury, the only fighter to defeat Paul in a professional ring.

Tommy Fury Responds: A Scathing Take on Jake Paul’s ‘Unwarranted’ Trash Talk

Tommy Fury, no stranger to trash talk, didn’t hold back when responding to Paul’s comments. Taking to Instagram, he lambasted the YouTuber-turned-boxer, recalling his own victory over Paul. “Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua… just wanted to remind everybody that that bum couldn’t beat me when I basically had a broken hand. I had one hand, and he still lost,” Fury fired back.

“Jake Paul, I’m still your daddy,” Fury added, mocking Paul’s previous boast. “And a loss will always be there, Mr. Paul.” The fury (pun intended) behind Tommy’s words only added fuel to an already heated rivalry, as fans on both sides eagerly awaited the next move from each boxer.

Jake Paul’s Retaliation: ‘Tommy Fumbles’ and Career Divergence

Unsurprisingly, Jake Paul quickly responded to Fury’s comments, labeling him “Tommy ‘Fumbles’ Fury” and claiming that their past fight is now irrelevant. “The ship has sailed, mate,” Paul tweeted, dismissing Fury’s taunts.

Paul’s retort didn’t stop at Fury’s jabs. He took another swipe at his opponent’s career trajectory, saying, “I’m trying to build the sport. You are trying to make a payday and hit the pub. We are just different.” This comment underscores the tension between the two fighters, highlighting their contrasting approaches to boxing: Paul sees himself as a promoter of the sport, while Fury views it as a means to make money and fame.

The Career Paths of Jake Paul and Tommy Fury: Who’s Really Gaining Ground?

Paul’s remarks suggest a divergence in their paths. While Tommy Fury remains focused on professional boxing, hoping to build on his win over Paul, Jake Paul has repeatedly positioned himself as a brand-builder in the sport. Whether his trash talk and headline-grabbing stunts translate into future victories is a question many are still asking.

As of now, Paul’s future remains uncertain. Recently, rumors circulated about a potential exhibition match against Gervonta “Tank” Davis, although this event now seems to have stalled. Davis is currently focused on his upcoming rematch with Lamont Roach, leaving Paul to shift his focus to other potential opponents, including Joshua, despite the overwhelming skepticism around the possibility of such a fight.

Could Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua Be Realistic?

Despite the theatrics, the idea of Jake Paul stepping into the ring with a seasoned boxer like Anthony Joshua raises more questions than answers. While Paul may believe he can beat Joshua, his lack of experience and the gulf in skill between the two fighters make the claim laughable to many. Joshua, with 32 professional fights under his belt, has far more experience, not to mention a stellar knockout record of 25 KOs.

Yet, Jake Paul’s ability to generate buzz and create headlines has earned him a massive following and some credibility within the boxing world. Whether or not he could ever take down a fighter of Joshua’s caliber remains to be seen. What is certain, however, is that his brashness and willingness to call out fighters like Joshua will continue to keep him in the spotlight.

Tommy Fury’s Role in the Current Boxing Landscape

While Paul might be chasing the big names, Tommy Fury is steadily establishing himself as a legitimate force in the heavyweight division. His victory over Paul has earned him a place in the spotlight, and he’s proven that he’s more than just a YouTube star’s punching bag. As Fury’s career continues to unfold, it’s clear he’s determined to make his own mark on the sport — without relying on the drama that Paul thrives on.

Fury’s resilience and ability to stay focused on boxing, rather than theatrics, may give him the edge in the long run. While his rivalry with Paul has generated a lot of noise, it’s his dedication to the craft of boxing that will determine whether he can climb to greater heights in the division.

The Battle for Boxing’s Future: Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury, Round Two?

As the animosity between Jake Paul and Tommy Fury continues to simmer, it’s clear that both men have carved out their respective roles in boxing — for better or worse. While Paul’s antics have brought him a unique brand of fame, it’s Fury’s focus on actual boxing skills that may ultimately win the hearts of the purists.

For fans, the question remains: will there be a round two between these two? Will Paul finally face off against the likes of Anthony Joshua, or is his place in the sport still uncertain? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain — the drama between Paul, Fury, and Joshua isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

Conclusion: The Future of Boxing Is Up for Grabs

With so much at stake for both Jake Paul and Tommy Fury and Anthony Joshua looming in the background, the next few months could be pivotal for the future of boxing. The sport is in the midst of a major transformation, with personalities like Paul bringing in new fans, while traditionalists like Fury and Joshua remain focused on the craft. Whether these rivalries and drama-filled narratives will lead to meaningful fights or just more spectacle remains to be seen.

What is undeniable, however, is that the lines between sport and entertainment are increasingly blurred. With every fight, every comment, and every controversy, the story of Jake Paul, Tommy Fury, and Anthony Joshua is far from over.
