Eddie Hearn: Joshua vs. Paul can be ‘biggest battle in box’ commercial

Eddie Hearn says Anthony Joshua against Jake Paul is the biggest battle in boxing ‘commercial. He now sees that the potential that this struggle is greatest is there. Hearn revealed on Sunday that the talks are in an ‘advanced’ phase for the Joshua-Paul battle, and he believes it will happen.

Hearn’s ‘advanced’ battle negotiations

“I would say Advanced is the word that Click Baiters would produce,” Eddie Hearn said The bumpy ground About how far he negotiates a fight between Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul. “I never really expected this battle to happen, but the more conversations I have, the more I think there is a very good chance that this could happen.”

Many have changed in Jake Paul’s career to make him an attractive option for Joshua to fight now. He had his two fights with Mike Tyson and Julio Cesar Chavez jr. It attracted a lot of attention. Hearn’s rebuilding of four battle of AJ was a total failure.

“I believe Jake Paul wants the fight. Don’t ask me, But he believes he can win, And it’s even more dangerous. You can go in and think, “Well, if I get hurt.” No, he’s convinced he’s beating Anthony Joshua, ‘says Hearn.’ Be careful what you want for, because that is not what you are used to. Respect to tackle the challenge, and we will see if it comes down. “

Jake knows what he sees. AJ is washed thoroughly at this point, his chin is gone, and the only thing he has left is his power. But that is not enough for him to note to defeat Paul, because unless he lands early, he will eventually be knocked out as he did in his last fight against Daniel Dubois. There is nothing left of the Joshua that became a pro in 2013. I know it’s hard for Hearn to accept, but that’s the reality. AJ’s punching resistance is gone, and he barely holds on to the remains of his career.

‘Biggest fight’ in box

“Surely,” Hearn says, responding that Frank Smith said Joshua against Paul is bigger than Joshua against Tyson Fury. “Obviously, AJ-Fury for boxing is one, but I do understand that it is commercially the biggest battle in boxing,” Hearn said of Joshua against Paul.

Joshua-Paul will probably not only do better numbers than Joshua against Fury, but also Canelo Alvarez against Terence Crawford. Jake Paul has a larger public profile and social media that follows as Canelo, which means he can advertise directly to his 28 million Instagram followers and 20.9 million YouTube subscribers. Alvarez did not reach the kind, and Crawford is obviously not in the same galaxy as Paul. He is a warrior on the sidelines in comparison.

“I’m not going to tell you it’s a fight by the year. I’m not going to tell you that it’s competitive. I think it’s a mismatch, and I think This will mean that Jake Paul will leave the sport forever. Because I don’t think he will ever walk into the ring again after being linked by Anthony Joshua, ‘says Hearn.’ There are many people who would like to see it. ‘

The financial power of Jake Paul

Hearn seems determined to see that Jake Paul leaves the sport for some reason. I wonder why there is so much hostility to him when he does a great favor by giving him a fight late in his career. It is not as if Joshua has any other options to get a huge pay day at this point. The only other battle he can potentially get against Tyson Fury, but he doesn’t come back to him. As such, Jake is the only battle there for Joshua.

“People tell me, ‘What does Anthony come from? “He is involved in one of the greatest events of all time.

Eddie did not say what Joshua would do if he lost the fight against Jake Paul. Shall we say goodbye to AJ? It is difficult to imagine that he is fighting when he is beaten by Paul in a similar way as he was in his last fight against Daniel Dubois. I think they can have a Joshua against Paul Rematch, who would make a lot of money. But to do this, Hearn can make up some good excuses to explain why AJ lost.
