Former heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury has weighed in on the much‑anticipated fight between Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul, scheduled for next week in Miami. As this atypical card continues to divide the boxing world, the Briton said Jake Paul would be able to “hold on until the end” against the former Olympic and world champion.
The duel, set for next Friday, will be contested over eight three‑minute rounds. Both fighters will wear 10‑ounce gloves, an unusual regulatory setup for a bout involving a boxer of Joshua’s caliber.
This matchup, which has generated as much curiosity as skepticism, fits with Jake Paul’s intention to continue his foray into professional boxing against established names, while Anthony Joshua will be looking to reassure after recent performances that have been closely scrutinized. Fury’s prediction has only added fuel to the debate around this extraordinary fight, already being billed as one of the most publicized events of the year.
