WBA, WBC, WBO and IBO heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk shared his thoughts on the upcoming fight between influencer-boxer Jake Paul and former world champion Anthony Joshua.
“This is a lot of money and just a show. From a sporting point of view, it’s not interesting. But friends, brothers — Anthony is an Olympic champion. Jake is just an athlete, a YouTuber. Jake is working on himself — a special coach, a special diet, he’s gotten bigger — but this guy didn’t even have amateur fights. Never. Maybe wrestling. Now professional fights. But Anthony Joshua is an Olympic champion.
How long will the fight last? In my opinion — one round. Because I fought Anthony twice, his jab… Look,” (he points to his eyebrow — ed.) “This is from his jab. Boom,” Usyk said.
The fight between Jake Paul (12-1, 7 KOs) and Anthony Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs) will take place on December 19 in Miami, USA.
