Jake Paul leaks brutal message Anthony Joshua sent him after being goaded over KO… and calls for UK stadium fight
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."

The King reigns on: LeBron James opts into $52.6m Lakers contract for 23rd NBA season
LeBron James will become the first player in NBA history to play in 23 seasons when he returns to the Los Angeles Lakers in 2025-26. James, the NBA's career leading scorer, is exercising his $52.6m player option for the upcoming season, Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul told ESPN on Sunday. It is unclear if James, who turns 41 in December, intends to play past the upcoming season. 'LeBron wants to compete for a championship,' Paul told ESPN. 'He knows the Lakers are building for the future. He understands that, but he values a realistic chance of winning it all. We are very appreciative of the partnership that we've had for eight years with [Lakers ownership and executives] and consider the Lakers as a critical part of his career. 'We understand the difficulty in winning now while preparing for the future. We do want to evaluate what's best for LeBron at this stage in his life and career. He wants to make every season he has left count, and the Lakers understand that, are supportive and want what's best for him.' James, who has played in 1,562 regular-season games, is 50 shy of breaking Robert Parish's NBA record. James averaged 24.4 points, 7.8 rebounds and 8.2 assists in 70 games in 2024-25 to rank in the top 22 in each category. He is a 21-time All-Star, four-time league MVP and four-time NBA champion. James entered the NBA as an 18-year-old after being selected No 1 in the 2003 draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers.

'You can't buy those experiences' - Knoester on Scottish Cup win
Mats Knoester said it was a quick and easy decision to sign a contract extension at Aberdeen to 2029. The Dutch centre-back, who signed from Ferencvaros in February on a two-and-a-half-year deal, made 17 Dons appearances last season, including the full Scottish Cup final victory over Celtic as Jimmy Thelin's side prevailed on penalties."It was quite fast that we agreed [a new deal]," he told club media."I've had a good past half year with a great ending, of course. "Even if I take that away and I just look at how I got here, how I was welcomed, how I was feeling, my family, it's been really good so there not a lot of thoughts needed to agree on a contract."If anything could have swayed it, though, Aberdeen's historic Scottish Cup win in May might have just done was a rock at the back as Jimmy Thelin's side shocked Celtic. And that shock continued for the defender in the days to come."It was the days after really you good feel how big it was," he added. "The parade, almost everyone was out - I didn't even know so many people lived in Aberdeen - the streets were full so we could definitely see how much it meant."You can't buy those experiences, it's in the soul of the club and it's an experience for life."
