Eddie Hearn has shared some insights about the upcoming fight between Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul, which is set for December 19 in Miami. In response to comments from Jake Paul's manager, Nakisa Bidarian, Hearn assured fans that they should expect something special from Joshua.
Bidarian recently claimed that facing Joshua would be easier than fighting Gervonta Davis because of Davis's natural speed. Hearn disagreed strongly with this analysis. He addressed the media, noting how people often try to provoke Anthony Joshua into making bold statements. But AJ doesn't bite; he respects his opponents and remains focused on delivering a punishment with precision in the ring.
Hearn elaborated on the upcoming match during an interview, clarifying that this isn't just another exhibition with shorter rounds.
"It's not shorter rounds. It's a real fight,"he emphasized, challenging the idea that Joshua lacks speed.
"Wait until you see AJ's speed. It's going to be frightening,"he added confidently.
Amidst talk of Joshua's potential weaknesses post-Andy Ruiz fight and a lengthy 14-month absence, his preparations have been far different than expected. While London became too much of a distraction, AJ disclosed his recent training efforts while speaking publicly about his adjustments:
"I was invited to train with Team Usyk... We've been doing some good training in Spain."He's embraced new strategies under Ben Davison’s advice and now trains with one of the best teams available.
Joshua clarified some rumors concerning juxtaposition between sparring partners like Usyk but still commended his workout regime as intensive yet beneficial:
"They're killing me, drilling me,"he acknowledged lightheartedly.
The conclusion hints at what awaits Paul when faced against Joshua — an unpredictable fighter imbued with both discouraging rumors ＆ resolute developments!
