Eddie Hearn has not ruled out the possibility of a surprising matchup between Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua, as Paul seeks a new opponent. Originally scheduled to face Gervona ‘Tank’ Davis in Miami on November 14, this fight is now uncertain due to allegations of battery and kidnapping against Davis. Most Valuable Promotions, Paul’s camp, has confirmed an investigation is underway and is looking for alternative opponents.
In response to the civil lawsuit against Davis, Most Valuable Promotions stated they are conducting a thorough review before making any decisions. They emphasized their condemnation of violence and pledged to handle the matter with care and diligence.
While the new opponent for Paul remains undisclosed, potential contenders like Ryan Garcia, Edgar Berlanga, and even Joshua have been mentioned. Hearn, the promoter, hinted at the possibility of a matchup, stating, “Just let me know where.” This statement follows Hearn’s recent comments indicating that Joshua is unlikely to fight again this year and is focusing on a potential February bout.
Joshua has not entered the ring since his loss to Daniel Dubois in September 2024. If he does not fight this year, it would mark the first time in his professional career that he has not competed in a calendar year.
