We compare Jake Paul and Francis Ngannou’s boxing skills as a boxing match between the two is mentioned.
The two seem unlikely opponents but Paul even went up to Ngannou’s face in recent days and basically called him out to his face.
Talking mad stuff and mentioning that he was viciously knocked out by Anthony Joshua but Paul himself was knocked by Joshua only last year so a strange one from Paul.
Here’s how they match up a bit:
- Jake Paul lost to Anthony Joshua by 6th-round KO in December 2025 and suffered a broken jaw
- Francis Ngannou lost to Anthony Joshua by 2nd-round KO in March 2024
- Paul lasted to Round 6 vs Joshua while Ngannou was stopped in Round 2
- Paul is primarily a cruiserweight who moved to heavyweight for Joshua; Ngannou is a heavyweight
- Ngannou went 10 rounds with Tyson Fury in his pro debut and lost a split decision
- Paul claims he did better vs Joshua and says Ngannou has no chin and is lowkey soft
- Paul called Ngannou a terrible boxer
- Daniel Cormier said Paul moved well for a long time vs Joshua while Ngannou did not move much
- Paul is out until mid-2026 due to the broken jaw
- Ngannou declined a short-notice Paul fight in December 2025 but is now open to it and signed with Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions for MMA vs Philipe Lins
Jake Paul says he’s retired possibly soon from boxing but that remains to be seen.
He’s also been speaking to Canelo about a fight so let’s see what fights Paul is in soon.
