Jake Paul‘s bout with Gervonta “Tank” Davis hasn’t torpedoed his chances at Anthony Joshua … so says Eddie Hearn, who tells TMZ Sports talks between the two sides remain ongoing.

El Gallo is slated to enter the ring against the lightweight champ in Miami next month … but before that spectacle was finalized, there were rumblings he could take on the British superstar.

The Matchroom promoter says there’s still hope that fight gets made down the road … but it really depends on how Paul fares against the much smaller Davis.

He admitted he initially wondered if Paul’s side was just using Joshua’s name to help further negotiations with Davis … but considering the conversation didn’t end when that matchup was set in stone, he understood that wasn’t the case.

As for Paul’s boxing ambitions, Hearn was quite complimentary … saying the former Disney star has the entire sport of boxing “red hot” right now.

Those watching Jake Paul vs. Gervonta Davis better keep their cameras ready … ’cause El Gallo tells TMZ Sports he’s knocking out Tank — and he’s hoping it’s in one of the most spectacular fashions the sport’s ever seen.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer sat down with us recently to break down his upcoming fight with the undefeated Davis … and check out our interview, Paul is clearly confident he’s going to get the win.

In fact, he guaranteed a KO — promising “I’m going to knock this guy out.”

“We have full-on, random drug testing,” he said.

The tilt will all go down on Nov. 14 at the Kesaya Center in Miami.
