A potential boxing match between Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua remains a tantalizing prospect, according to promoter Eddie Hearn. But will it ever happen? Hearn reveals that negotiations are still ongoing, even after Paul's upcoming fight with Gervonta 'Tank' Davis.
But here's where it gets intriguing: Hearn suggests the outcome of the Paul-Davis bout could significantly impact the Joshua fight's future. If Davis, significantly smaller than Paul, dominates the ring, it might dash Paul's hopes of facing Joshua, who boasts a more imposing physique.
Hearn initially suspected Paul's team of leveraging Joshua's name to gain leverage in the Davis negotiations. However, the continued discussions even after the Davis fight was confirmed led Hearn to believe otherwise.
Hearn praises Paul's impact on the sport, crediting the former Disney star for generating buzz around boxing. Despite their legal history, a potential collaboration between the two could be a fascinating twist.
And this is where it gets controversial: Is Paul's team strategically using Joshua's name for leverage, or is there a genuine desire to make this fight happen? The boxing world is left to speculate. What do you think? Share your thoughts below!
