Jake Paul’s co-promoter, Nakisa Bidarian, has labeled a potential clash between the Youtube boxer and Anthony Joshua as “five times bigger” than a potential fight with Tyson Fury.
AJ became a shock name aligned to face Paul after the prankster-turned-prizefighter brazenly called him out on his podcast.
Paul moved up to heavyweight for his last fight in November when he controversially brought Mike Tyson out of retirement aged 58.
Speaking with The Sun, Bidarian stated that the boxing community is eager to see the fight come to reality.

“Ultimately Jake versus Joshua is three, four or five times bigger than Joshua versus Fury, easily. Not in the UK, the UK I think they’re similar.
“But on a global basis, it’s not even in the realm of the same conversation in terms of magnitude, scale, reach, interest, viewership, it would just blow it away.
“Joshua and Fury are not relevant in the US, meaning the hardcore boxing community will pay attention, but it’s not a moment where mainstream culture stops and pays attention to it. In the UK, absolutely but you’ll have that with Jake and Joshua as well.”
