Jake Paul had a simple answer for those claiming that his fight with Anthony Joshua is fixed.
Paul (12-1) is a big underdog in his boxing match against former two-time unified heavyweight champion Joshua (28-4) on Friday at Kaseya Center.

The big mismatch on paper has many, including Deontay Wilder, claiming the fight is likely fixed. Paul warns everyone that he can threaten legal action if he wants to.
“I give them a cease and desist letter in their email for lying on my name, and then the lawsuits come right after because these people won’t stop lying,” Paul said during Wednesday’s pre-fight press conference. “I honestly take it as a compliment, but people need to shut the f*ck up. As for Deontay Wilder, he’s been hit a lot by Tyson Fury, so he’s clearly not the smartest guy. There’s nothing in the contract. AJ can attest to it; we’re going to war. At the end of the day, that’s what all of my fights have been like.”
Joshua also chimed in on the accusations.
“Yeah, nothing in the contract, and we’re not worried about what opinions are,” Joshua said. “Whether it’s Wilder, Fury, whoever, the only thing that was in the contract that got my attention was the money. Other than that, I don’t worry about nothing else.”
