FANS have been left fearing for Jake Paul after Anthony Joshua showed off his shredded physique.
The British heavyweight ace will take on the American YouTuber in a money-spinning Florida bout next month.
Joshua’s shock involvement was announced after Paul’s original opponent Gervonta Davis pulled out.
He is expected to earn a staggering £70million for his involvement in the fight.
But the size difference between the pair has been flagged as a potential issue on the night.
Paul stands at 6ft 1in and has a reach of around 76 inches.

However, former world champ AJ is a massive 6ft 6in tall.
He also boasts a far longer reach at 82 inches.
And Joshua gave Paul a taste of what to expect as he showed off his ripped physique on social media, declaring: “There’s no tomorrow.”
Fans were left fearing for Paul after seeing Joshua’s condition, with one saying: “Don’t think Jake Paul knew what he signed up for.”

Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua – all the info
A true Christmas miracle!
The world will stand still come December 19 as the face of British boxing Anthony Joshua is all set to go up against social media sensation Jake Paul.
AJ steps in on a month’s notice after Paul’s ‘David vs Goliath’ Gervonta Davis clash was axed due to Tank’s civil suit case.
And Joshua will be desperate not to suffer the same fate as legends Mike Tyson and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr who both lost to YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul.
Particularly as a handsome figure was negotiated to get this Judgement Day deal over the line due to AJ’s DAZN contract.

But another added: “If you lose it will be so bad for the sport.”
Indeed, AJ’s promoter Eddie Hearn reckons both he and his man should RETIRE from boxing if Paul takes the win.
Hearn said: “Jake Paul is a legitimate cruiserweight now. I just don’t think he’s world class and I don’t think there’s any non-world class cruiserweight that can step up to heavyweight and beat Anthony Joshua.
“If I’m wrong, I think my time’s up. Not just AJ and me retire, we should all retire.
“I really believe this is going to be a straightforward obliteration. This is a real fight.
“This is a sanctioned contest. It is completely illegal to have any kind of agreement of how the fight would play out.
“There is absolutely no escape for Jake Paul. You will find out very quickly what this game is all about. And it will not be pleasant.”
