Eddie Hearn: Joshua vs. Paul can be “the biggest fight in boxing”

Eddie Hearn says Anthony Joshua vs. Jake Paul is commercially “the biggest fight in boxing”. Now he sees the potential that this fight is the greatest. Hearn revealed on Sunday that the talks are in the “advanced” stage of the fight Joshua-Paul and believes that this will happen.

“Advanced” negotiations of Hearna’s fight

“I would say Advanced is a word that would produce lures,” said Eddie Hearn Stamping ground About how far it is in the negotiations about the fight between Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul. “I have never really expected this fight, but the more conversations I have, the more I think there is a very good chance that it can happen.”

A lot has changed in Jake Paul’s career to make him an attractive option for Josua to fight. He had two fights with Mike Tyson and Julio Emperor Chavez Jr., who attracted a lot of attention. Four fights AJ Hearna was a complete failure.

“I believe that Jake Paul wants to fight. Don’t ask me, But he believes he can win And this is even more threatening. You can enter and think: “Well, if I am wounded.” No, he is convinced that he is beating Anthony Joshua, “said Hearn. “Watch what you want because it’s not what you are used to. Respect for taking up the challenge, and we’ll see if it disappears.”

Jake knows what he sees. AJ is thoroughly washed at the moment, his chin disappeared, and the only thing he left is his power. But this is not enough to count on defeating Paweł, because, unless it lands early, it ends up knocking out, as in his last fight with Daniel Dubois. There was nothing left of Joshua who changed the professional in 2013. I know that it is complex to accept Hearn, but this is the reality. AJ’s resistance has disappeared and barely sticks to what is left of his career.

“The biggest fight” in boxing

“Probably in terms of number,” said Hearn, responding to the saying that Frank Smith said Joshua vs. Paul is bigger than Joshua vs. Tyson Fury. “Of course, for boxing, AJ-Fury is the only one, but I understand that this is probably the biggest fight in boxing,” said Hearn about Joshua vs. Paul.

Joshua-Paul will probably not only do a better number than Joshua vs. Fury, but also Canelo Alvarez vs. Terenca Crawford. Jake Paul has a larger public profile and social media than Canelo, which means that he can advertise directly with 28 million watching on Instagram and 20.9 million YouTube subscribers. Alvarez does not have such a range and, of course, Crawford is not in the same galaxy as Paul. Compared to the fighter in the margins.

“I won’t tell you that this is a fight for a fight. This means that Jake Paul will leave this sport forever. Because I don’t think he ever returned to the ring after Anthony Joshu’s chin stays, “said Hearn. “There are many people who would like to see it.”

Jake Paul’s financial force

Hearn seems to be determined that for some reason Jake Paul leaves this sport. I wonder why there is so much hostility towards him when he does a great favor, giving him a fight so delayed in his career. It is not that Joshua has other options at the moment to get a giant payment day. The only other fight that he could potentially win, which she would pay well, is Tyson Fury, but he does not come back to face him. As such, Jake is the only fight for Joshua.

“People tell me:” What does Anthony get out of it? “He runs in one of the greatest events of all time.

Eddie did not say what Joshua will do if he loses the fight with Jake Paul. Will we say goodbye to AJ? It is demanding to imagine how he fights if he is knocked out by Paul in a similar way as in his last fight with Daniel Dubois. It seems to me that they could have a rematch of Joshua vs. Paul, who would earn a lot of money. But to do this, Hearn could cook good excuses to explain why AJ lost.

Keyshawn Davis should utilize Ryan Garcia’s plan against Devin Haney

Mosley was asked where Keyshawn fits into the situation and gave his take on how this fight would go.

Mosley pointed to Garcia’s upset win over Haney as the type of performance Keyshawn should try to repeat.

“I think Keyshawn would take the Ryan Garcia method and jump on him. Dev will try him out for the first two or three rounds, but when that doesn’t work, he’ll get on his bike and be gone,” Mosley told MillCity Boxing.

“He’s got to make sure he’s ready because if he’s not like he was when he started, you know, you’ve got to go with Devin because Devin, you know, he’s going to be ready,” Mosley said.

The father of the former three-division world champion also suggested that Haney and his father, Bill Haney, have developed a reputation for gaining the upper hand before a fight even starts.

“They’re really good at talking and having fun with the guy. That’s the fight before the fight,” Mosley said. “This mental war. It’s definitely working.”

Keyshawn, who is currently ranked No. 1 in the WBO welterweight division, has repeatedly called for a fight with Haney since he became the mandatory challenger. Meanwhile, Haney continued to say he wanted to face Shakur next.

The WBO ordered Haney to fight Keyshawn, while Haney also publicly discussed fighting Stevenson. The decision in which direction it will go may determine the immediate future of the division.

Hamzah Sheeraz called for ‘war’ against Anthony Joshua by hitting him with a ‘devastating punch’

Hamzah Sheeraz called out for ‘war’ on Anthony Joshua undercard by ‘devastating puncher’

Hamzah Sheeraz won the WBO super middleweight title last month and the undefeated star wants a quick turnaround, with another 168-pounder stating he would be ready for the opportunity to fight the Briton at tiny notice.

Anthony Joshua will return to action next month when he faces Kristian Prenga in Jeddah on July 25, hoping to make his long-awaited showdown with arch-rival Tyson Fury.

Earlier this week Boxing Scene reported that two world titles could be up for grabs on the undercard, with both Josh Kelly and Sheeraz set to make their first defense of their world titles in the super welterweight and super middleweight divisions, respectively.

Although Kelly is reportedly scheduled to face Caoimhin Agyarko from Belfast, Sheeraz’s opponent is unknown and the only condition is a place in the top fifteen of the WBO rankings.

In an interview with Boxing News, 39-year-old Milorad Zizic, who is rated No. 9 by the WBO, shared his desire to challenge for Sheeraz’s crown in a fight where he could join Dejan Zlatičanin as the second Montenegrin world champion in boxing history.

“It would mean a lot to me. I live for this goal. It would be a great honor for me, my family, Montenegro and the entire Balkan region. Becoming only the second world champion in Montenegro’s history would be something truly special.”

“It would mean everything to me. I live for boxing. I truly believe this fight could become the upset of the decade.”

Zizić, once called the hardest punch Floyd Mayweather Sr. had ever seenand then shared his confidence in the proposed competition, in which he hopes to continue his streak of six consecutive fights that lasted no longer than two rounds.

“Hamzah Sheeraz is a true champion. He is in great shape and I have a lot of respect for him. But believe me, he has never faced such a devastating blow as I did. Believe me, he will never face such a devastating blow as I did. I respect him as a fighter, but not to the point of thinking that I cannot beat him. I believe in my abilities and I am sure that I can make my dream come true.

“It will be a war from the first bell, I know how it can be. If we fight and he survives five rounds, he will be the winner, but five rounds against me is a long time.

“If Hamzah and his team want this fight, I’m ready. If not, that’s fine too. I will keep moving forward, keep working and stay focused on my journey. My time will come.”

Although his head coach is Joco Todorovic, Zizic has previously been cornered by fan favorite four-division world champion Roy Jones Jr, who continues to train him.

Speaking to Boxing News, Jones explained why he thinks Zizic will be an compelling test for Sheeraz, agreeing with Zizic’s plan to force a shootout.

“Zizic is a very strenuous puncher, as is Sheeraz, they are both very strenuous punchers. Zizic was off for a minute, but he came back and got four quick wins, he’s back busy and I think it would be a great fight for Sheeraz.”

“Like I said, they’re both really good punchers, and Sheeraz won’t come across many people who can match his punching power, but Zizic has that punching power.”

“He has to go straight to him. He can’t try to box him, he’ll go straight to him. That would probably be the smartest approach because if you box him, as long as he [Sheeraz] means he will beat you.

“So your best chance is to get to him as rapid as you can and see if he can withstand your blows. If you wait, he’ll get you out of there.”

News on Sheeraz’s opponent – if he appears on the card – is expected soon, with fellow WBO-ranked contenders Bernardin Jakaj (No. 12) and Jack Bowen (No. 14) also among potential opponents.
