JAKARTA - Anthony Joshua also predicts Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul's fight. The boxing legend duel against YouTubers is planned to be held at AT&T Stadium, Arlington, Texas, on July 20, 2024.

Joshua seemed to have no doubt choosing who would win the fight between Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul.

The 34-year-old boxer believes Mike Tyson will be able to keep up with a much younger opponent. However, it's interesting that Joshua predicts Paul will win.

In fact, Joshua 'prays' that Mike Tyson is not injured against the YouTuber who has only faced one boxing fight before, which is to lose against Tommy Fury since turning from social media to boxing.

"He (Mike Tyson) is older now. I pray he is healthy. I think Jake Paul because he is younger, that's the only advantage," Joshua told The Jonathan Ross Show.

Boxing legend Mike Tyson, who is now 57 years old, has returned to the ring for the first time since 2020. He faces a 27-year-old YouTuber.

Fans are waiting to see how Mike Tyson will perform at his advanced age after giving praise for his 20-year-old career in 2005. He has packed 50 surprising wins and only six defeats in 58 fights in professional boxing.

Apart from that, Joshua wants to join in enlivening entertainment boxing such as Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul's match. Previously, he also hit KO Francis Ngannou, an MMA star who had only tasted professional boxing once.

No wonder, Joshua denied that such entertainment duels insulted boxing. Justur, according to him, the fights that create aspects of entertainment make boxing more developed and more concerned by many people.

"I personally think this is very good. I think hardline boxers, they don't like it because they think 'Why don't they respect our sport?'"

"However, I think bringing everyone into boxing can benefit a lot of people. Everyone watching will help," said Joshua.

Joshua is now waiting for his next opponent after defeating Francis Ngannou last month and aiming for the undisputed world heavyweight champion between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk.
