British boxer Moses Itauma has faulted YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul’s decision to fight two-time unified world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, describing it as a big mistake.

Recall that Paul will face ‘AJ’ in a professional heavyweight boxing fight on December 19 in Miami, live on Netflix.

Paul, previously scheduled to take on Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis’, is making a bold move by squaring off against a former heavyweight champion in Joshua.

Speaking with BBC Sport, Itauma warned Paul about the physical damage he might sustain against Joshua.

“Jake Paul needs to fire his advisor, his people that tell him to make these fights because that’s not good. Did Jake Paul not watch the Ngannou fight? You know what, there’s obviously making money, but at the same time, it’s absurd.”

“I just feel he needs to weigh the outcomes. £50 million, then my health, cars and watches, can’t say my name.”

He concluded, “If I was Jake Paul’s brother, I would be very worried [about the Joshua fight].”
