Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua might face each other in the boxing ring. This unlikely match-up has got people talking, especially after Tyson Fury's bold prediction.
Tyson Fury, the former heavyweight champion, thinks Jake Paul would knock out Anthony Joshua if they fought. In an interview with iFL TV, Fury said:
"Jake Paul chins 'AJ' if they fight. 100% [serious]. If they fight, I'm putting a million pounds on Jake Paul. 100%."
Jake Paul, who started as a YouTuber, has turned into a professional boxer. He's had 13 fights so far, facing opponents like Tommy Fury, Mike Perry, and Ryan Bourland. Paul's even set to fight Mike Tyson, who's 58 years old, and there's talk about a match with Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, who's 39.
On the other hand, Anthony Joshua is a two-time world heavyweight champion. He last fought in September, stopping Daniel Dubois in five rounds. Right now, Joshua's recovering from a minor elbow surgery.
Eddie Hearn, Joshua's promoter, has confirmed he's talked with Jake Paul's team about a potential fight. But that's not all - Hearn's also looking at a big fight between Joshua and Tyson Fury in 2026.
Speaking of Fury, he retired in January after losing to Usyk for the second time. But he's hinted he might come back for big names only. He's mentioned a trilogy with Usyk or all-British clashes with Dubois or Joshua as potential reasons to return to the ring.
The boxing world's buzzing with these potential match-ups. Will we see Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua? Or will Joshua face Fury in 2026? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure - fans are in for some exciting fights in the coming years.
