Joshua's power a huge threat to Paul, says Wallin

Youtuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul is in for a nasty surprise when he steps into the ring against Anthony Joshua on December 19, heavyweight Otto Wallin has told Reuters, describing the British boxer as the hardest hitter he has ever faced.

- 

Wallin faced Joshua twice as an amateur, losing both bouts, but that didn't stop him pushing for a professional contest which took place in Riyadh in December 2023.

Wallin's corner called a stop to that fight 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.
