Jake Paul claims he’s been sparring a bunch of elite heavyweights ahead of his next fight.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer is ready to face Anthony Joshua in Miami, Florida, on December 19.
Ahead of his eight-round clash with the previous two-time heavyweight world champion, Jake Paul has been pictured within the gym with top contenders Jared Anderson, Lawrence Okolie, and Frank Sanchez.
Nevertheless, Hall of Fame boxer Carl Froch seriously doubts they’ve actually been sparring the 12-1 novice.

Carl Froch on Jake Paul’s sparring partners
Jake Paul has been left with an unsightly black eye from his recent sparring sessions.
Still, Carl Froch doesn’t consider a correct punch has been thrown at him by Anderson, Okolie, or Sanchez.
“They’re not sparring f—ng Jake Paul,” Froch said.
“They’re moving around with him, touching him up, slightly technical bulls—. They’re not sparring him.
“Lawrence Okolie is kind of a giant puncher. He’s big now. Jake Paul just isn’t adequate to spar them.
“Let’s see the footage, let’s see the sparring, then I’ll consider it.
“Each boxing fan knows that if AJ goes in with Jake Paul, and tries, the fight won’t last a minute.
“If he hits Jake Paul with that right hand, he might f—ing snap his neck.
“Then it’s game-over, then it’s bad for the game.”
Quite a bit has modified within the last nine years. 🤣

Jake Paul’s fight prediction
Most individuals think Jake Paul goes to be quickly and brutally knocked out by Anthony Joshua.
The previous Disney star predicts he’ll shock everyone by forcing a stoppage in the center rounds.
“I don’t think he can knock me out because he’s not going to have the ability to line up his shots properly to have the ability to land the hard punch,” Paul told Pat McAfee.
“I believe it’s going to be a really tough fight for multiple rounds, but then once I work out his pacing, his style, his speed, his footwork, he’s going to get slightly bit drained attempting to chase me around, after which I’m going to establish the shot.
“I’m not going to say exactly what, but I see what it’s and I believe it can end within the fifth or sixth round.”
