Eddie Hearn: Anthony Joshua vs. Jake Paul is fighting a “catastrophic maladjustment” but financially obscene

Eddie Hearn says Anthony Joshua is likely to be willing to fight against Jake Paul for a ‘big piece of money’ if the YouTuber wants to fight for the fight. Hearn admits that the battle is a ‘Catastrophic Wan -Adjustment“But people still want to look.

Joshua’s profitable road

Paul’s massive number of followers on Instagram and YouTube ensure that a battle between him and AJ would be a financial success. Joshua would experience great criticism of fans, but he could still deliver a fortune.

“He calls out Anthony Joshua, which is a heavyweight sample. I think Jake Paul is crazy enough to fight Anthony Joshua because the money would be absolutely obscene, ‘Eddie Hearn said Talksport Boxing. “It is a catastrophic mismatch that would set people to look at, because that would be the end of Jake Paul. It’s so dangerous. ‘

It would be a sick mismatch if Joshua was to fight against Jake Paul, and even more than when he fought, then 0-1 Francis Ngannou in a match last year in March. The battle should never have been approved as a professional match because it was unfair.

Jake is much more popular than Ngannou. So, if the goal is for AJ to earn as much money as possible before leaving the sport, the fight against Jake Paul is one way of achieving it. It would be a joke, but Joshua doesn’t seem to care.

Hearn Backs AJ vs Paul

“It’s a fight that doesn’t really have to happen. They are very smart in terms of the opponents they choose. It won’t be surprising if Jake Paul wants to go forward with an Anthony Joshua fight,” Hearn said. “Would he (Joshua) go in there and hide him for a massive piece of money? Probably. I would say, ‘Yes, go on. I would like to see. ‘

Jake has made it clear that he wants to fight Joshua. He didn’t look like he was joking when he mentioned AJ’s name last Saturday night, after his victory over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.. The only question is whether Joshua and Hearn will agree. In this interview, Hearn said he would welcome the battle for Joshua.

“Is he (Jake) world class? Absolutely not, but he is improving. He is much better than many fighters out there,” says Hearn.

It sounds like Hearn is looking for an excuse to make a fight between AJ and Paul. Jake is no better than any of the top 15 selected Cruiserweights in the section, and that’s all that counts. He can probably beat some of the top 100 fighters in the division, but not many. To be arranged in the top -100, fighters have experience and have been fighting for years.
