Full Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua betting markets
After Gervonta Davis withdrew from this bout, it appears Paul is tired of the doubters. He replaced his lightweight opponent with Joshua, a legit heavyweight stud who has fought the best in the division.
The Englishman's last win was a knockout over former UFC heavyweight king Francis N'gannou.
He has also fought boxing greats Wladimir Klitschko, Daniel Dubois and Oleksander Usyk twice.
Joshua stands at 6-foot-6 and is a lean 250 pounds. He towers over Paul, who's 6-foot-1, and is the opposite of the opponents Paul usually challenges.

Jake Paul boxing preview vs. Anthony Joshua
So how does the underdog win this? Well, the odds would suggest he doesn't stand a chance, and I mostly agree.
However, Paul has legit speed and power and would need to catch Joshua, who's been knocked out before.
Is it likely? No. Is it possible? Yes.
Paul has been taking boxing seriously for half a decade now, and he should be viewed as a boxer rather than an influencer crossing over into the boxing world.
This will be the "Problem Child's" 14th professional boxing fight.
In saying that, he's the less talented, smaller boxer in this contest and deserves his status as a massive underdog on Dec. 19.
