Promoter Eddie Hearn says that the comments of Tommy Fury are “humorous” Anthony Joshua is “paid”, if his potential fight with YouTuber changed the boxer Jake Paul, goes beyond two minutes of the first round.
Hearn responds to Fury’s accusations
“What humorous things to say,” said Eddie Hearn Stamping groundResponding to Tommy Fury begging Anthony Joshua not to dive against Jake Paul. “If we take this fight, it’s a real fight. We don’t go there as an exhibition or match on YouTube.”
Tommy Fury said in an interview this week that if Joshua did not knock out Paul within two minutes of the first round, he would do it “Take it because AJ has been paid.” He added that Joshua can knock out Jake with even a broken arm.
Paul recently looked risky, throwing three of the last five fights. Mike Tyson wounded in their start on November 15, 2024. Jake withdrew from the throttle after the stunning of 58-year-old Tyson.
Jake Paul’s last performances
– Julio Cesar Chavez JR: Unanimous decision 10
– Mike Tyson: Unanimous decision 8
– Mike Perry: Who 6
– Ryan Bourland: TKO 1
– second August: Ko 1
– Nate Diaz: Ud 10
– Tyron Woodley II: KO 6
“AJ will prepare as if he was a world champion, and he will come in and intends to enter he will destroy himAnd we intend to go further, “said Hearn about Paul.” The only thing that can stop this fight from the event is that Jake Paul suddenly decides that he did not do it or florize. This is the only thing. Otherwise this fight is happening. “
Joshui’s last performance against Daniel Dubois has many fans who ask if he can do tough chances without falling. Dubois made AJ the tardy round in the first fight in September last year at the Wembley stadium. At the end of the round of Joshua, he apparently spread when he returned to his corner. The former two -time heavyweight champion Joshua was dropped in the third, 4th and 5th round in a unilateral competition.
The final word about negotiations
“So tomorrow I have a phone with Nikisa. We will talk, but every conversation we have had so far, we know what we are doing. We know how it all works. We just have to pull the trigger, and this trigger is pulled when Jake Paul goes” because we don’t reverse it.
Jake said many times that he wanted Joshua to fight the next. He still comes down to negotiations. They have to understand the fight. So, unless he doesn’t change your mind during talks, the fight will happen.

Fury vs Joshua Tickets Now Available for Highly Anticipated British Heavyweight Clash

July 28, 2026
World Boxing News has found tickets for Tyson Fury’s long-awaited showdown with Anthony Joshua already being offered online despite no official confirmation that Britain’s biggest heavyweight fight has been signed.
Multiple ticket websites are advertising seats for the proposed contest, one complete with seating plans, pricing and availability, despite no official announcement from either fighter or their promoters.
The listingsfor a November 21 clash at Wembley Stadium have fuelled speculation that Fury and Joshua are finally on course to meet after both returned to winning ways this month.
Fury stopped Mariusz Wach in Thailand before Joshua recovered from two first-round knockdowns to halt Kristian Prenga in Saudi Arabia.
Ticket Listings Raise Questions
One ticket marketplace is already claiming to be selling secondary seats, while another company is taking registrations despite acknowledging that key details are still to be confirmed.
The sale has naturally sparked excitement among fans desperate to see Britain’s biggest heavyweight rivalry finally settled after years of failed negotiations, retirement announcements and missed opportunities.
However, none of the major parties involved in the negotiations have officially confirmed the contest.

Still Plenty to Be Decided
How tickets can be on sale for a fight that isn’t even confirmed is anyone’s guess. While some websites are already advertising Fury vs. Joshua seats, there’s no guarantee any of the details prove accurate until the fight is officially announced.
The proposed staging also raises questions for one obvious reason: the British weather. Holding the biggest fight in UK boxing outdoors at that time of year would be a significant gamble given how unpredictable conditions can be.
Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn proved a major late-autumn event can work when they fought at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last year. However, Fury vs. Joshua is on another level commercially, and risking Britain’s biggest heavyweight showdown in freezing temperatures or heavy rain would be a bold call.
If the fight does happen on British soil during that period, the safest option would surely be a stadium with a roof. That immediately brings Cardiff’s Principality Stadium into the conversation, offering organisers protection from the elements without taking the event away from British fans.
Even then, there remains a strong belief that the powers behind the event would still prefer the United States.
For now, the appearance of tickets is simply the latest twist in a rivalry that has frustrated British boxing fans for years.
Until Fury, Joshua and the promoters officially announce the fight, supporters should treat any ticket listings as speculative, no matter how convincing they appear.

Heavyweight Shocks Again: Tyson Fury Left Bloodied and Knocked Out Cold

Otto Wallin, the heavyweight who left Tyson Fury covered in blood and was later stopped by Anthony Joshua, suffered another crushing setback when Vladyslav Sirenko knocked him out cold in the final round of their Zuffa Boxing clash in New York.
Wallin was trailing on all three scorecards before Sirenko landed a devastating right hand followed by a left hook in the closing seconds of the tenth and final round.
The Swedish southpaw crashed to the canvas and remained down long enough for a stretcher to be brought into the ring, although he later sat up and responded to medical staff.
From Tyson Fury Scare To Another Knockout
Wallin’s career has become one of the heavyweight division’s biggest “what if” stories.
In 2019, he came within touching distance of ending Tyson Fury’s unbeaten record after opening a horrific cut above the Briton’s right eye that required 47 stitches. Many believed the contest could have been stopped before Fury battled through to win on points.
Speaking exclusively to World Boxing News three years later, Wallin insisted the fight would have been waved off had the roles been reversed.
“I think the cuts that he had were very bad. He had 47 stitches after the fight. If I had those cuts, the doctors would have stopped the fight, for sure,” Wallin told WBN.
Despite that disappointment, Wallin rebuilt his career by defeating current WBA heavyweight champion Murat Gassiev before earning high-profile clashes with Joshua and Derek Chisora.
His defeat to Joshua ended in a fifth-round stoppage. This latest loss to Sirenko marks the second knockout defeat of Wallin’s career and leaves the 35-year-old facing the toughest questions yet over his future.

Vladyslav Sirenko Scores Career-Best Win
For Sirenko, the victory represented the biggest win of his professional career.
The Ukrainian improved to 23-1 with 20 knockouts by stopping one of the heavyweight division’s most respected contenders after bouncing back from last year’s defeat to Solomon Dacres.
Wallin once looked destined for another world title opportunity after pushing Fury to the brink and defeating future WBA heavyweight champion Murat Gassiev.
Two knockout defeats later, that dream looks further away than ever.

Terence Crawford Declares One Current Fighter Unbeatable: He Will Take Over

July 27, 2026
Terence Crawford believes one man will follow in his footsteps and retire as an unbeaten world champion, essentially becoming a generational great in the process.
‘Bud’ became not only a world champion but a three-division undisputed king, ending his career with a legacy-defining unanimous decision triumph over Canelo Alvarez.
Even before that, Crawford was considered an elite pound-for-pound operator for over a decade, with many believing his most complete performance came against Errol Spence Jr in 2023.
But while the American is perhaps in a class of his own, he nonetheless believes that four-division world champion Shakur Stevenson can achieve a similar degree of success.
The 29-year-old claimed a career-best victory in January, losing just one round as he dethroned Teofimo Lopez with a masterful unanimous decision victory.
Having now signed with Dana White’s Zuffa Boxing, though, it remains to be seen whether he defends his WBO super-lightweight title or pursues opportunities elsewhere.
Either way, Crawford has told Fight Hub TV that Stevenson has the mental and physical attributes to remain unbeaten at the highest level.
“I think Shakur [will take over]for sure, Shakur hands down. I think, given the opportunity, he’s going to show the world that he’s the best. His mental, his defense [sets him apart]takes his craft serious. He’s the type of the fighter that you gotta pull out the gym. [Is he beatable?] Not at all. Everybody [is] beatable, but I don’t see nobody beating him.”
Since inking a promotional deal with Zuffa, Stevenson has named Devin Haney and Gervonta Davis as two potential opponents who would cement his greatness.
The slick southpaw could therefore compete anywhere between lightweight and 147lbs, depending on which division offers the most realistic opportunities.
