Former boxing heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury, has predicted that Jake Paul will take Anthony Joshua all the way in their bout next week.
Joshua and Paul will fight next Friday in Miami.
The controversial contest is billed for eight three-minute rounds, with the fighters wearing 10oz gloves.
“I think it will go the distance,” Fury told OOOsch TV.

“I think it will be a move around and a points job, absolutely.
“I understand people’s concerns but they have to start believing in Jake.
“They don’t believe because they can’t get their head around how he beat those guys.”
Serena Williams insisted Tuesday she had no plans to make a return to tennis after her registration with the sport’s drug-testing body sparked reports of a dramatic comeback.
The 23-time Grand Slam singles champion has not competed since a third-round loss at the 2022 US Open left her one short of the all-time record of 24 Grand Slam singles titles, held by Margaret Court in the women’s game and Novak Djokovic in men’s tennis.
“It is correct that she is back on the Registered Testing Pool list,” Adrian Bassett, a spokesman for the the International Tennis Integrity Agency, the sport’s drug-testing body told AFP in London on Tuesday in response to media reports the 44-year-old American had registered.
“At this stage we have no other information.”
But Williams denied she was planning a return to competitive tennis by posting later Tuesday on X: “Omg (Oh My God) yall (you all) I’m NOT coming back. This wildfire is crazy”.
