The news came after Paul’s scheduled fight against Gervonta Davis fell through following an investigation into recent accusations against ‘Tank’.
After his fight against Davis was canceled, the 28-year-old and his team shortlisted a group of fighters that they offered the fight, one of which being undisputed super middleweight champion Terence Crawford.

Along with the likes of Francis Ngannou and Crawford, ‘The Problem Child’ also offered the fight to the biggest rival of his career, Tommy Fury, the man who handed him the first loss in his career.
According to Paul, he offered ‘TNT’ Fury $15 million for the fight but the Brit rejected the offer claiming that he isn’t allowed to enter the United States at the moment.
And even though a fight against ‘Bud’ Crawford didn’t come to fruition this time around, Paul’s team stated that Crawford was ‘100% in’ for the fight but the timeline didn’t align.
“There were probably 30 fighters who accepted, Anthony Joshua being one of them, Terence Crawford being another. AJ is the one we came to an agreement on. Crawford was 100% in,” Most Valuable Promotions claimed.
However, despite registering his interest in a clash against the internet sensation turned boxer, Crawford could end up missing out on the huge payday if Paul doesn’t beat Joshua.
Paul receives surprise backing against Joshua
Ahead of what is one of the biggest mismatches in combat sports history, Paul is being counted out by the large majority of boxing fans.
Despite that, he has surprisingly received backing from former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, as well as being backed to knock the Brit out by his former rival, Nate Diaz.
