ANTHONY JOSHUA warned Jake Paul to be careful for what he wishes for after sending him one last menacing message.
The two have been exchanging back and forth messages in private after Paul called out the ex-heavyweight world champion earlier in the year.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer even goaded AJ over his previous knockout losses – but Joshua warned what goes around comes around.
Paul has not DM’d Joshua since his KO tease and told SunSport: “That was the last one.
“He said, ‘I can’t wait to fight. you’re gonna be fighting for your life and you’ll know the feeling that I’ve gone through.’ Or something like that.”
Paul started his boxing journey with an exhibition bout in Manchester against Deji – the brother to his arch YouTube rival KSI.
The American has now been a professional five years and has a record of 11 wins and just one loss – coming against Tommy Fury in 2023.
And Paul wants to return to the UK to fight AJ – dreaming of a stadium full of his most volatile detractors.
He said: “My first fight was in front of an English crowd and it’s rowdy.
“I love walking into the lions’ den and so me vs Anthony Joshua, 100,000 people chanting “f*** Jake Paul” would be pretty fun for me.”
Jake Paul vs Julio Cesar Chavez Jr
JAKE PAUL’S controversial boxing career rolls on this weekend with the Problem Child facing boxing royalty in Anaheim, California.
Paul will face Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, a highly-decorated former world middleweight champion.
The Mexican, 39, has fought just once in the last four years but has the best boxing resume of any fighter to step into a ring with Paul – bar Mike Tyson, who was aged 58 at the time they fought.

Joshua, 35, is yet to return since being knocked out by Daniel Dubois, 27, in September and has since had elbow surgery.
Meanwhile, Paul’s last fight was as controversial as it was commercially successful.
He beat Mike Tyson over eight rounds when the heavyweight great made a comeback aged 58 with over 100 MILLION watching on Netflix.
Now Paul, 28, returns TONIGHT against former middleweight champ Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, 39, back down at cruiserweight.
And he says a ranking with the WBC could await him with victory – putting him in line to challenge for Badou Jack’s green and gold belt.
Paul said: “I think it’s back to the drawing board after this, especially depending on what the WBC and WBA rank me after I win.
“If they rank me in the position where I can go for a world championship, then we’re gonna try and get that done.”
