Let me paint you a picture. A random tweet goes viral: “Heard Joshua Paul is stepping into the ring in December.” It gets a few hundred likes. Then a fake poster appears on Reddit—a terrible Photoshop of Joshua’s face on a boxer’s body. Suddenly, everyone believes it.
I saw a comment yesterday asking, “Is Joshua Paul fighting both Paul brothers at the same time?” No, Karen. That’s not a thing. That’s a fever dream you had after eating too much cheese. The toxicity levels on these rumor threads are higher than a Chernobyl reactor, but with worse grammar.
Here’s a surprising fact: Joshua Paul actually has a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He trains every day! But he trains to stay healthy, not to deck a YouTuber for a million bucks. He’s like a superhero who refuses to put on the cape.

The Only “Fight” You’ll See
If you’re desperate for a Joshua Paul bout, the closest thing we have is a 2019 video where he sparred gently with Jake Paul in a backyard. It lasted forty-five seconds. Joshua tapped out because he said he was “tired and hungry.” That’s not a fight—that’s a Tuesday afternoon for most of us.
Think about it: would you risk your life to punch your billionaire brother in the face for a viral moment? No. You’d get a hug and a burger. Joshua is clearly the smart one in the family, and he’s using that brain to avoid CTE.
There is a darker corner of the internet that claims Joshua Paul was supposed to fight an influencer named “Slim Shady Jr.” last April. That “event” turned out to be a fan-made trailer for a video game. Yes, the entire fight was a simulation. We’ve gone full circle into digital madness.
