Paul warned about Joshua's massive power

Wallin faced Joshua twice as an amateur, losing both bouts, but that did not stop him pushing for a professional contest.

In that bout which took place in Riyadh in December 2023, his corner called a stop after five rounds, leaving the big Swede with some painful memories.

"For Jake Paul, I think it's pretty dangerous to face Joshua because he hits so incredibly hard. I know that — he hits like no other I've ever faced," Wallin said, a note of incredulity in his voice that the fight was taking place at all.

"I don’t understand why Jake Paul is taking this fight - they must be seriously underestimating Joshua, but I don't think I'll believe the fight is happening until they’re actually in the ring."
