Jake Paul Eyes Crawford Clash Post-Joshua Bout
17 Dec, 2025
Summary
- Jake Paul is targeting a fight with Terence Crawford after his Anthony Joshua bout.
- Paul believes a Crawford fight was close to happening earlier this year.
- He also responded critically to Francis Ngannou's refusal of a potential fight.
Jake Paul revealed his strong interest in facing undefeated boxer Terence Crawford, with the potential bout nearly materializing before Paul's scheduled fight against Anthony Joshua. Paul suggested that the fight with Crawford could happen in 2026, especially if it could be properly marketed.
Paul also directly addressed comments made by Francis Ngannou, who had previously declined a fight offer from Paul's team. Paul was dismissive of Ngannou's decision, suggesting that Ngannou is not intelligent and would be exposed if he were to fight Paul.
Ngannou, however, stated that the proposed fight with Paul was not of interest and made no sense for his career at this juncture, citing reasons beyond financial considerations. Meanwhile, Paul is set to face Anthony Joshua this Saturday night in Miami, Florida.
