Tim Bradley Bets Big on Jake Paul to Upset Anthony Joshua

Tim Bradley is picking on Jake Paul to pull off the upset over Anthony Joshua this Friday night.

Bradley has taken note of the dream team Jake has assembled with sparring partners and a high-level training team to prepare him for Joshua. He mentions that AJ will be lighter than usual for this fight because of the 245-pound catchweight limit. He hasn’t been that light in three years.

Tim says he watched Joshua’s last fight against Daniel Dubois, which ended in disaster for him, as he was knocked out in 2024. That performance by AJ has Bradley with “cold feet” about Joshua’s chances.

“I’m going to put five stacks on Jake Paul. The odds are too crazy. That overhand right that Jake Paul got. It ain’t no joke,” said Tim Bradley on his channel, picking Jake Paul to defeat Anthony Joshua this Friday.

Bradley showed off a huge wad of bills, talking about how he’s betting “five stacks” [$5,000] on Jake Paul to win. That’s a lot of money for Tim to be betting, but it shows how much doubt he has in Joshua. Paul’s punching power is world-class. He’s a cruiserweight with heavyweight power.

“Joshua coming in light in the a** too. I don’t think it’s a good thing,” said Bradley about AJ fighting Paul at a catchweight of 245 lbs. “He [Joshua] said, ‘It’s all about money.’ It is, but the way you said it, it’s a game to you. Jake Paul is all in.”

The catchweight is something that fans and the media have overlooked. Joshua has been accustomed to fighting in the 250s. It’s not a fight that Joshua can afford to be weakened, because Jake is quick.

“I watched Joshua’s last fight against Dubois. I’m getting cold feet on this one,” said Bradley.

AJ was down four times in his loss to Dubois in 2024. The only round he wasn’t dropped was the second. The end came in the fifth when his trainer told him to “roll the dice.” He came charging out at the start of the round and was promptly flattened by a right hand from Dubois.
