In Saudi Arabia, a boxing match between Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua appears to be on the horizon. Saudi adviser Turki Alalshikh revealed that Jake Paul, who is now ranked as a cruiserweight by the WBA, has accepted a proposed fight with Joshua. This comes at a time when Joshua is dealing with recovery from recent elbow surgery and may have additional physical issues. Turki Alalshikh aims to promote the match, particularly to resolve his own grievances with Paul while emphasizing that if Joshua wins, it would restore his stature in boxing.
