Anthony Joshua Gives Surprising Pick for Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul: "Nobody Saw It Coming"

Mike Tyson and Jake Paul are getting ready to face each other in the ring. The fight is a little over a month away and has got people talking.

Tyson, who's nearly 60 and hasn't fought professionally in almost 20 years, will go up against Paul, who's not yet 30 and has 11 fights under his belt. The match will last eight rounds, with each round lasting two minutes. What's interesting is that the result will count on both fighters' professional records.

This fight has raised eyebrows because of the big age gap between the two and the difference in their boxing experience. Tyson made history as the youngest-ever world heavyweight champion, while Paul is still new to the sport.

Former two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua shared his thoughts about the fight on The Jonathon Ross Show. He said he thinks it's "really good".

Joshua understands why some boxing fans aren't happy about the fight. He explained:

"The boxing hardcores, the boxing fanatics, they don't like it because they feel like it's disrespecting the sport because [Jake Paul] hasn't gone through the Olympic system, he hasn't gone through the ranking system."

When asked who he thinks will win, Joshua picked the younger fighter. He said:

"I'm going for Jake Paul. Father time catches up with everybody. Tyson is older now. I just pray that he comes out healthy."

Joshua himself is looking ahead to his own next fight. He's recovering from a tough loss to Daniel Dubois. There's talk of a rematch with Dubois, possibly happening next February.

The Tyson-Paul fight has got everyone's attention, whether they like the idea or not. It's not your usual boxing match, but it's certainly got people talking.
