TYSON FURY is backing Jake Paul to seal a knockout win when he faces Anthony Joshua in Miami next month.
The duo are set to go head-to-head in a Netflix extravaganza dubbed Judgment Day on December 19.
Joshua and Paul will share a prize pot of close to £100million after the shock bout was announced on Monday.
AJ has not fought since his knockout loss to Daniel Dubois in September 2024 after spending the summer recovering from elbow surgery.
And Fury has predicted Joshua to suffer a similar fate when he returns to the ring in Florida.
The Gypsy King released a blunt message on Instagram Stories, which said: “Jake Paul by KO.”
Fury, who has 6.7 million followers on his account, also tagged the YouTuber-turned-boxer in the post.
Following the announcement of the fight, Paul insisted that he is aiming to prove his doubters wrong.
He said: “This isn’t an AI simulation. This is Judgment Day.
“A professional heavyweight fight against an elite world champion in his prime.
“When I beat Anthony Joshua, every doubt disappears, and no-one can deny me the opportunity to fight for a world title.
“To all my haters, this is what you wanted. To the people of the United Kingdom, I am sorry.”
The Kaseya Center bout between Joshua and Paul will be a professionally-sanctioned heavyweight fight over eight, three-minute rounds.
They will both have to wear 10oz gloves and a weight limit of 245lbs has been set.
Boxing supremo Turki Alalshikh has revealed that Joshua will be involved in another bout in Riyadh in February.
