🔮 Who is picking Jake Paul to win?
See our Paul vs. Joshua best bet and all of our boxing picks this weekend.
Tyson Fury
"I think Jake Paul chins AJ - if they fight, I'm putting £1 million on Jake Paul."
Oscar De La Hoya
"I'm actually excited about the Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua fight on Netflix. I'm going with Jake by KO."
Nate Diaz
"I got my money on Paul. He might get his ass knocked out, but if he don't, Paul is gonna win."
Demetrious Johnson
"I think Jake can knock him out - Anthony Joshua's been knocked out by some weird-ass shots before. Andy Ruiz and [Daniel] Dubois knocked him out with a short overhand right - Jake Paul can land one of those shots, he can. If Anthony Joshua doesn't get on his bicycle, start moving around, and fight Jake Paul, he can destroy Jake Paul, but I don't see that happening."
Rolando Romero
"Jake Paul has plot armor. Let me ask you this, right? Why would Jake Paul fight Anthony Joshua unless he truly believes he can win? Jake Paul has plot armor. When you have plot armor it's like watching Harry Potter right? Harry Potter literally said in the fifth or sixth movie: 'I don't know how I win, I just get lucky.' It's the same thing. When you just have plot armor you're just gonna win no matter what. It don't matter."
🔮 Who is picking Anthony Joshua to win?
We broke down this fight in full detail in our Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua predictions.
Deontay Wilder
"I don't know if it's legit or not. This is the first time we're seeing Paul actually fight a fighter. This is not only a fighter but a former champion and an active fighter. We haven't seem him do this ... You're dealing with a different situation. The height difference is different, you're an active fighter, and Paul can damn well be knocked out. So I don't know if this is scripted or not ... If this is a legit fight, I see Joshua taking him out."
Tommy Fury
"If I can beat Jake Paul, then excuse my French, what the f*** is Anthony Joshua going to do to Jake Paul? ... Even if AJ had a broken arm in there, it still wouldn't go past a minute."
Conor McGregor
"I have not placed my own personal bet on this match yet I have only just set the odds. I do like 'KO in first 60 seconds' at 11/1 tho (sic). It’s now about how much / what else ? A collosal sum on an outright win is good too. $5m would return win $5.6m. This is an absolute layup fight. It is not fixed also I know matchroom. Jake is stupid and will be altered permanently from this bout. I can’t just sit idly by and watch it happen without making a cool profit from it too."
Hasim Rahman
"It should be an easy fight for Anthony Joshua. I mean, Jake Paul never fought anybody on that level in their prime or remotely useful ... I don't believe it should be a competitive fight. It should not. I feel like if Anthony Joshua don't go in there and manhandle (Paul) and maul him and get him out of there in one or two rounds, then we got some questions to be asked."
Oleksandr Usyk
"If Anthony wants, Anthony will kill this guy ... Anthony Joshua is an Olympic champion. Jake Paul is a sportsman, YouTuber, showman ... (It's a) Rolls Royce vs. Fiat. It's just true. Its business, more money. I will pray for Jake Paul because I want to fight Jake Paul in the Octagon."
Lennox Lewis
"I think (Joshua) knows this guy is not really credible, not really a heavyweight, not credible to be in the ring with him, even to box with him. So I think he’s looking at it like OK, I’m going to go out there, use it like a sparring match. Soften him up in the first round, get rid of him in the second or third round."
Roy Jones Jr.
"I like Jake Paul a lot. I think this is one of the most dangerous fights that he is ever going to fight ... AJ is a former Olympian, a former world heavyweight champion. I don’t see no way in the world that a former gold medallist, a former heavyweight champion of the world is going to let Jake Paul beat him, unless he is completely out of shape."
Eddie Hearn
"I have no real defence of Anthony Joshua versus Jake Paul. It's crazy that it's happening and I think the critics are spot on. But we just couldn't turn it down. No boxer in their right mind would have said no. Anyone who says they would are completely lying through their teeth. We took a fight that we believe will be very straightforward, will give AJ a huge profile in America and one of his career-high paydays ... We have a clear strategy in mind - to knock Jake out asap. Then we go into normal service being resumed in 2026."
