Like Tyson he will be well paid to hit him with a wet lettuce.

But millions will tune in.

But millions will tune in. 

Same as the Tyson fight- in the hope that he gets sparked out.

Surely anything less than a first round knockout is embarrassing for AJ?

Lad get annihilated, first decent punch Joshua lands. Getting hit by a heavy weight boxer is dangerous enough. In this case Josuha known as a heavy hitter.  Boxing farces like these end up with a tragedy.

Lose lose imo.. If he sparks him out first round people will say it's expected from
him. If he doesn't finish it in the first round then he's going to get slated even worse

Id say the payday will soften the blow

I thought even old man Tyson would still have sparked him and he didnt.

I actually never massively rated AJ. He's a big straight line lump with no footwork. That said, he's so many levels above Paul that if that doesn't show, then something is up.

AJ should have the Fury fight early next year. That shouldn't happen if he makes a balls of this.

This is the guaranteed payday that AJ wants to secure the future.

He wins this and he will have another major pad day against Fury, loses and he is still set for life.

No major AJ fan but would love to see someone spark this clown and finish this balls.

[Munchie]

You don't think he's set for life already?

Sorry just had a google - only worth about 150 mill!

This is the guaranteed payday that AJ wants to secure the future.

The man has earned over £100m from his fights over the last 10 years. If he hasn't secured his future already then he has been very badly advised.

I just hope this isn't scripted and AJ knocks him out within a minute. I still have a feeling it will fall through before we get to fight night. Jake Paul is mad to jump in a ring with a current heavyweight fighter.

It just sums up the circus that boxing has become. It also says a lot about Anthony Joshua.

[Munchie]

At least with WWE everyone knows it's a fix and just entertainment, the boxing folk think this shite is real.

Boxing fans know the likes of Jake Paul v Tyson and Logan Paul v Mayweather is 100% fake. We'll soon know after 30 seconds about this one.

[Munchie]

It's still billed as a fight which it isn't it's a shame, Wrestling has entertainment in it's name, it does what it says on the tin.

Boxing these days is simply about getting as much money as you can for as little risk as possible. This is a no-brainer for Joshua. He dealt with the big UFC lad no bother and I'd expect the same here and it's a huge pay day. Even for Jake Paul, I've a bit of begrudged respect for him taking this one on. By a mile his toughest fight. Tommy Fury is garbage and he beat him so there's no chance he does anything other than lose here. He'll go in swinging, get caught and beat with millions in his pocket. Hopefully, he comes away with nothing worse than his ego bruised but I do wonder if one of the BBC's get involved and pull the plug on it.
