JAKE PAUL has issued a chilling warning to Anthony Joshua after the confirmation of his shock showdown with Gervonta Davis.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer’s long-rumoured exhibition with the controversial Davis was accidentally leaked on Wednesday before being officially announced by Netflix.

Paul’s November 14 punch-up with the WBA lightweight champion, who he’ll dwarf in size and weight, came on the back of very real conversations over a shock showdown with AJ.
And ‘The Problem Child‘ had a message for the former two-time unified heavyweight champion after confirming his freakshow bout with ‘Tank’.
The 28-year-old said in a statement to ESPN: “Gervonta is an angry little elf who has been disrespecting my name for too long.
“His nickname might be ‘Tank’, but I’m an FPV drone and I’m about to disable his a**.
“Yes, he is one of the top pound-for-pound boxers in the world, but my motto is anyone, anytime, anyplace, against all odds.
“And I like my odds. First, I am going to kill David, then I will go on to slaughter Goliath.
“And you are all going to watch me do it, breaking viewership records again.
“Atlanta. Friday, Nov 14th. The worst night of Gervonta’s career, live only on Netflix.”

Brit bruiser Joshua has remained silent on the prospect of fighting Paul and has yet to comment on the former Disney star’s cash with Davis.
Paul fighting Davis has cleared the way for Joshua to finally share the ring with long-time rival Tyson Fury.
But Fury continues to flip-flop on the prospect of returning to the ring, telling Sky Sports earlier this month when asked if he’d return to the ring: “Never. Really!
“[I’m] too old, look at my beard, all grey. Boxing‘s a young man’s game.”

Joshua, 36, hasn’t set foot inside the ring since his devastating fifth-round KO loss to Daniel Dubois last September.
He underwent surgery on a niggling elbow injury in May and is expected to lace up his gloves again by the end of the year.
