Eddie Hearn discusses Anthony Joshua vs Jake Paul
“This is very real,” Hearn said when asked by The Ring about Joshua-Paul.
“I had a good chat for about an hour with Nakisa on Wednesday [July 30] and now I believe they want the fight, I really do.
“Nakisa was very honest and he’s concerned about the fight but Jake truly believes he can win the fight or at least be competitive in it.
“And now because of the size of the fight, it leads me to believe there’s a very good chance it could happen. If I had to rate that chance I would say it’s 50:50. It was a very positive conversation and we expect that conversation to extend over the coming weeks.
“If they really want it, it will happen.”
