Saudi boxing figure Turki Alalshikh is optimistic about the prospect of Anthony Joshua defeating Jake Paul, seeing it as a positive development for his field. The former YouTuber challenged Joshua earlier this year, asserting on his YouTube show BS with Jake Paul his confidence in beating Joshua due to what he perceives as Joshua’s lack of chin, skill, and agility. Despite initial skepticism about the fight materializing, recent reports suggest that both fighters are nearing a deal to face off this Christmas.
The anticipated bout between Joshua and Paul is scheduled for December 19, with Alalshikh eagerly awaiting the outcome, having been involved in Joshua’s recent matches. He hopes that Joshua, also known as ‘AJ,’ will emerge victorious and put an end to the challenge posed by Paul. Many boxing experts predict a swift victory for Joshua over the social media personality, while heavyweight contender Lawrence Okolie offers a contrasting view, suggesting the fight may last longer than expected.
The showdown between Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul is set to take place in Miami on December 19, just ahead of Christmas. The fight is likely to commence at 11 pm local time, approximately 4 am in the UK, catering to the American audience. The event will be broadcast live on Netflix, with the exact timing subject to the duration of the undercard.
