Matchroom chief Hearn was initially part of the group who believe YouTuber turned boxer Paul will triumph over Fury, who is younger brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson.
Hearn then changed his mind earlier this month, instead calling it a “50-50” fight.
And now he has completed a full U-turn, declaring Paul, 26, has “no chance” of beating Fury, 23, on Sunday.
Hearn told Boxing Social: “I have had a total U-turn on this fight. I thought Jake Paul was going to win this fight.
“I think Jake Paul has absolutely no chance to win this fight at all.”
Hearn, 43, claimed Fury’s years of experience inside the ring will see him come out on top.
And he doesn’t think it will go further than two rounds.
Hearn added: “If Tommy Fury comes out aggressively and puts it on Jake Paul, this fight will not go two rounds.

“This is a massive U-turn for me because both are limited. But Tommy Fury as limited as he is as a professional boxer, has been boxing for ten, 12 years, maybe more.
“He has been in the ring against professional fighters, he has experienced that, he’s done the hard spars.
“He’s an outsider in this fight… he’s going to win this fight by stoppage.”
Hearn admitted Fury could come unstuck if he “dithers around”, but still backed the Brit to get the business done.
He continued: “Tommy Fury knows how to punch correctly, he knows how to fight.
“But if he dithers around and just boxes with him, to be fair anything could happen.
“But if he sticks it on him, he will stop him inside two rounds. He should come out like a train, and he will knock him out.”
