Jake Paul recently called out Anthony Joshua, expressing confidence he could defeat the former heavyweight boxing champion. This drew a certain reaction from someone who has fought on the same card as Joshua in the past.
Appearing on a recent episode of Bare Knuckle Bowker, Tyler Goodjohn discussed several subjects leading into his BKB 40: Cardiff Brawl 3 fight against Joseph Smith, which took place on April 19. During his prior run as a gloved boxer before shaking up the bare knuckle landscape, Goodjohn was the chief support to Anthony Joshua and won the English super lightweight title on that AJ undercard.
Though Paul has his next assignment lined up and it doesn't involve another heavyweight outing following his Mike Tyson fight, the influencer calling out AJ still drew out a response from Goodjohn. When expounding upon his thoughts regarding that Paul callout, Goodjohn said:
"The thing with Jake Paul is Jake Paul says things for click bait. So you never really know if he's just saying it or if he genuinely means it or not. I mean look, if he fights Anthony Joshua, look, I would love to see that because I think he gets absolutely tuned up by Anthony Joshua. I think he gets knocked out. I mean he's nowhere near ready for that [laughs]."

"But you know, if he actually thinks that, go ahead, boy. Go and do it, man, because I know there's going to be a lot of people out there who would want to see you get absolutely sparked out. Especially after the whole Mike Tyson debacle that went down. So yeah no, if he genuinely means it, go ahead, boy."
