Hearn responds to Fury’s accusations

“What a ridiculous thing to say,” Eddie Hearn told The bumpy groundAnd respond to Tommy Fury and beg Anthony Joshua not to take a dip against Jake Paul. “If we are waging this battle, it’s a real battle. We are not going in there as an exhibition or a YouTube match. ‘

Tommy Fury said in an interview this week that if Joshua Paul did not knock out to the first round within two minutes, he would do “Take it if AJ is paid off.” He added that Joshua Jake could even knock out with a broken arm.

Paul recently looked dangerous and knocked out three out of his last five battles. He injured legend Mike Tyson in their collision on November 15, 2024. It looks like Jake has returned to the gas sprayer after he surprised 58-year-old Tyson.

“AJ is going to prepare as if he is a world champion, and he goes in and He’s going to demolish himAnd we’re going to go on, “Hearn says about Paul.” The only thing that can stop this battle now is that Jake Paul decides not to do it suddenly or not. It’s the only thing. Otherwise post this battle. “

Joshua’s last performance against Daniel Dubois questioned many fans whether he could take a hard shot without going off. Dubois dropped AJ late in the first round in their fight in September at Wembley Stadium. At the end of the round, Joshua swung visibly as he walked back to his corner. Former two -time heavyweight champion Joshua was dropped into a unilateral competition in the 3rd, 4th and 5th rounds.

Final word on negotiations

“I have a call with Nikisa tomorrow. We will talk, but every conversation we have had so far knows what we are doing. We know how it all works. We just have to pull the trigger, and the trigger is drawn when Jake Paul goes, “I’m in,” because we don’t take it off. No, ‘says Hearn.

Jake repeatedly said he wanted the Joshua fight next. It will still amount to the negotiations. They must make sense that the struggle should happen. So, unless he changes his mind during the discussions, the fight will take place.
