Logan Paul was stunned into silence when he met Anthony Joshua for the first time in 2016

When Logan Paul met Anthony Joshua for the first time in 2016, he was stunned at the ‘machine’ standing in front of him.

This coming Friday, one of the most highly anticipated boxing fights in recent years will take place when Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua face off in a heavyweight clash at the Kaseya Center in Miami.

Despite a lot of the boxing fanbase believing that there is a clause in Joshua’s contract that prevents him from knocking out the internet sensation turned boxer, at the open workouts this past Tuesday, the former heavyweight champion sent one final chilling message.

And with that, several current and former professionals are extremely worried for Paul’s health in his clash against the former heavyweight champion, and even his brother Logan Paul confronted him when he called Joshua out.

Logan Paul was stunned when meeting Joshua for the first time

When at the peak of his powers, Joshua reigned over the heavyweight division and held four titles, before shockingly losing them in his US debut.

The Olympic gold medalist burst onto the professional scene in 2013 and just three years later he won his first world title when he knocked out Charles Martin.

And ironically, that was the year when Logan Paul met him for the first time, and he was left stunned after seeing the sheer size of the British champion.

At the time of their first meeting, Logan was still in his YouTuber era, yet to have competed in boxing or the WWE.

“I thought I was a big guy, you’re a machine!” Logan told Joshua.

Paul then went on to ask Joshua to punch his hand, which had Logan walking away due to the surprise of how strong the heavyweight was.

Logan Paul gave Jake Paul the blueprint to beat Anthony Joshua

Since his first meeting with Joshua, Logan has since fought inside the boxing ring, with his most notable fight having come against Floyd Mayweather.

However, he has fought at nowhere near the same level as his younger brother, but he has still attempted to give Jake the blueprint on how to beat the heavyweight.

In a recent video, Logan was seen telling Jake not to fight on his back foot, telling him to bring the fight to Joshua and swarm him with combinations.
