Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua are in real-deal negotiations to struggle … and AJ’s longtime promoter, Eddie Hearn, says it might occur “early subsequent 12 months!”
“I simply thought to myself, that is Jake Paul creating headlines. He’s not going to struggle Anthony Joshua. And in each dialog I’ve with [Jake’s partner] Nikisa and MVP, I’m like, ‘Oh my God, they really suppose they will beat him,’” Hearn informed the”TMZ Sports activities TV present on FS1.
“And I feel there’s an excellent probability you’re going to see it subsequent!”
Not possibly, not in 5 years … subsequent! And, if anybody would know, it’s Eddie, AJ’s rep, who’s on the middle of the discussions.
Does the 28-year-old Drawback Youngster, 12-1 (with 7 KOs), and considerably smaller have an opportunity at beating the 35-year-old, 6’6″, 260 lb. former heavyweight champ and Olympic gold medalist?
Eddie says no approach.
“This isn’t Jake Paul preventing Mike Tyson … that is AJ, sorry, Jake Paul preventing probably the most harmful fighters, pound for pound, within the sport.”
Jake clearly feels in a different way.
“I feel it’s wildly harmful. I feel Jake Paul is a madman. However, for some motive, he believes he can beat Anthony Joshua.”
And, EH says “[Jake] will get AJ at 100% of his finest and most harmful, so, good luck!”
Talking of that Paul and Tyson struggle, whether or not you liked or hated it, it was undeniably an enormous occasion … and with 108 million viewers worldwide, essentially the most watched struggle ever.
The reign on high could also be short-lived, in response to Hearn.
“[Joshua vs. Paul] could be one of many largest, you understand, pay-per-view fights, the most important. I imply, it might simply be completely big.”
Backside line — it feels like there’s an ideal probability AJ and Jake will quickly share a hoop.
“Pay attention, in order for you Anthony Joshua to evaporate you from the boxing world, we are going to fairly willingly achieve this.”
