Jake Paul reveals vivid prediction for Joshua fight

Appearing on The Pat McAfee Show, Jake Paul exuded confidence:

“I don’t think he can knock me out, because he is not gonna be able to line up his shots properly, to be able to land the hard punch.

“But, I think it is gonna be a very tough fight for multiple rounds. But then, when I figure him out, his pacing, his style, his speed, his footwork, he’s gonna get a little tired trying to chase me around. And then I’m gonna set up the shot. I’m not gonna say exactly what, but I see what it is. 

“I think it will end in the 5th or 6th round. I see the shot that can knock him out, and I’m gonna test his chin, and this could potentially be the biggest upset in the history of boxing, let alone sports, someone said the other day. Right up there with Buster Douglas-Mike Tyson, and I’m gonna pull it off,” said Paul.
