Tyson Fury suggested prior to Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua being announced that he would make a \u00a31million wager.<\/strong><\/p>\n And incredibly, he suggested he would back Paul to record one of the biggest upsets in boxing history and knock out Joshua.<\/p>\n Derek Chisora reveals plea to Anthony Joshua in private messages over Jake Paul fight: ‘People will be annoyed’ – exclusive<\/p>\n Now the pair have officially announced their stunning heavyweight clash which\u00a0will take place on December 19\u00a0in Miami.<\/p>\n Paul had called out Joshua earlier in the year, and a bout looked a realistic possibility despite their vast gulf in experience.<\/p>\n And when reacting to the reports at the time in August, Fury made a stunning prediction.<\/p>\n He said:\u00a0“Jake Paul chins AJ, yes.\u00a0100 per cent. If they fight, I’m putting a million pounds on Jake Paul.”<\/p>\n Fury later added: “I think that AJ is a spent force, and I think Jake Paul is on the rise.<\/p>\n “I like his new heavyweight look, he is a bit chubby, a bit bulky, he is getting there.”<\/p>\n The prediction of course came as a huge surprise, but is likely one to spite his long-term rival.<\/p>\n As in any fight, Paul has a small puncher’s chance, but he is a massive underdog against the former two-time world heavyweight champion.<\/p>\n The short answer appears to be no, he will likely need a miracle in the eyes of most boxing experts.<\/p>\n Paul has had just one fight at heavyweight, a bizarre exhibition with 59-year-old Mike Tyson\u00a0who he beat\u00a0in lacklustre fashion last November.<\/p>\n 3<\/p>\n The YouTube sensation didn’t have an amateur career and has had 13 professional fights against limited opposition.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Joshua is an Olympic gold medallist and has had a sensational rise to superstardom during his time in the paid ranks.<\/p>\n Joshua has duelled with the likes of undisputed champion Oleksandr Usyk and has wins over Wladimir Klitschko and Dillian Whyte to his name.<\/p>\n Backlash is rife, but the pair will take to the ring in a bout which has\u00a0received professional sanctioning.<\/p>\n Fury could have a keen eye on the clash as it could well serve as a tune-up for Joshua if he is to face the ‘Gypsy King’ next year.<\/p>\n The Morecambe native is currently retired, but has indicated he may be open on some occasions to making a U-turn,\u00a0particularly to face Usyk.<\/p>\n 3<\/p>\n 3<\/p>\n It was\u00a0revealed on talkSPORT\u00a0by promoter Eddie Hearn that Joshua has agreed his side of the deal to face Fury.<\/p>\n And Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh has suggested Joshua could fight in Saudi Arabia in February before teasing a clash with Fury later in 2026.<\/p>\n He said: “We have next year two big events here in London. It will be a surprise.<\/p>\n \u201cWe will have Joshua in our country (Saudi) in February then there is the big fight, one of the greatest fights in the history of boxing it will be in London here in September.\u201d<\/p>\n Dillon Gabriel\u2019s fianc\u00e9e had some strong words for Cleveland Browns fans who celebrated the rookie quarterback going down against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.<\/p>\n Gabriel started his fifth game of the season against the Ravens but didn\u2019t emerge from the locker room after the half. He was\u00a0placed in concussion protocol and was quickly ruled out.<\/p>\n With Gabriel sidelined, Shedeur Sanders took over at quarterback and was met with\u00a0raucous cheers at Huntington Bank Field. Gabriel\u2019s fianc\u00e9e, Zo Caswell, offered an update on the Browns quarterback\u2019s condition and didn\u2019t hold back on fans who cheered his injury.<\/p>\n \u201cTo those of you who have reached out concerned about Dillon, he is doing great and will be back soon! We are grateful for your support,\u201d\u00a0Caswell said in a TikTok video. \u201cAnd to the \u2018Browns\u2019 fans at the game on Sunday night, if you cheered at the start of the second half knowing he was hurt, there\u2019s a special place in h*** for you. You should feel ashamed of yourselves. Players are real people, not fictional characters in a movie. Do better, be better.\u201d<\/p>\n One notable comment on the post came from Travis Hunter\u2019s wife, Leanna Hunter.<\/p>\n \u201cTravis and I are sending you and Dillon SO MUCH love. God has so many good things in store for both of yall,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n To be fair, it wasn\u2019t immediately clear to those in the stadium that Gabriel had left the game because of an injury. He\u2019s struggled this season and had thrown for just 68 yards in the first half before exiting. Still, the crowd let its frustration show,\u00a0booing and even chanting for Sanders\u00a0whenever Gabriel misfired on a pass.<\/p>\n Sanders was the recipient of loud cheers when he entered the game. But after the matchup,\u00a0Sanders called on fans to support Gabriel\u00a0when he\u2019s running the offense.<\/p>\n \u201cWell first let me say this. Dillon\u2019s out there playing and all that, I appreciate the fans. I appreciate everybody, but I\u2019m a good person overall, so I don\u2019t really like him not feeling comfortable, confident when he gets out there,\u201d\u00a0Sanders said, referencing the boos. \u201cSo it puts everything in a tough spot and it\u2019s not helping the team. So that could be taken as, \u2018OK, I\u2019m being a distraction even though I ain\u2019t doing nothing,\u2019 You know? I\u2019m not doing nothing.<\/p>\n \u201cBut I\u2019m thankful for the supporters, thankful for the fans, thankful for everybody out there that believes. And yeah, when I got out there, I definitely felt them, and I\u2019m truly thankful for it. I\u2019m thankful, seeing all them \u201912\u2019 jerseys out there, and it was a great feeling for that.\u201d<\/p>\n Gabriel\u2019s status for Sunday is uncertain but it appears unlikely he\u2019ll be cleared to play on Sunday against the\u00a0Las Vegas Raiders. Browns insider Mary Kay Cabot of cleveland.com said it\u2019s almost a certainty that Sanders will draw his first\u00a0NFL\u00a0start this week.<\/p>\n \u201cBrowns Shedeur Sanders is expected to start Sunday\u2019s game in Las Vegas with Dillon Gabriel in the concussion protocol. Barring something unexpected, Sanders will make his starting debut, becoming the 42nd Browns starter since 1999,\u201d\u00a0Cabot wrote on X.<\/p>\n The Browns have yet to make an official announcement. Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said on Monday he\u2019d provide an update later in the week when more was known about Gabriel\u2019s condition.<\/p>\n Sanders completed just 4-of-16 passes in his half of action against the Ravens for 47 yards with an interception.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tyson Fury suggested prior to Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua being announced that he would make a \u00a31million wager.
