Not going to be easy with that sort of image.
You can get this: https://i.imgur.com/wOJDoMw.jpg using the median blur filter Filters -> Blur -> Median Blur Settings as shown
Repeat the filter again using the same parameters : https://i.imgur.com/1rhpQoA.jpg Some of the noise gone.
Gives this: https://i.imgur.com/U1nsudc.png You will still need to do a bit of touch-up.

After the median blur:
- Fuzzy select the background
- Select ➤ grow by one pixel
- Select ➤ shrink by one pixel (you can try the same grow/shrink with 2px instead)
- Select ➤ Invert
- Adda layer, filled with white
- Bucket-fill selection with black

This is how I did it :
Filters / Noise Reduction (strenght 32)
Then Filters / G'Mic-Qt / Black & White / Engrave ( use this filter 2 times )
Result :
