Deluded influencer Paul claims he will show Joshua how to dance in the ring

- FROM MARTIN DOMIN IN MIAMI

JAKE PAUL is nothing if not deluded.

He was in high school when Anthony Joshua won his Olympic gold medal.

He was starring in a Disney show when Joshua first became heavyweight world champion.

And he was picking fights with a 58-year-old Mike Tyson while Joshua was attempting to join Muhammad Ali as a three-time ruler.

Paul only made his professional debut in 2020, here in Miami, on a show organised by Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn.

But somehow their worlds will collide tomorrow night in a professionally sanctioned contest.

And Paul can only be playing a dangerous game of self-deception when he pitches himself as the better boxer.

"On paper, the cards are stacked against me, but really, in terms of boxing, I'm a better boxer than AJ," boasted the American.
