Joshua's journey has seen ups and downs lately—he faced harsh criticism after being knocked out by Daniel Dubois this past September. Despite concerns about his declining skills and reduced stamina, Joshua's experience and size advantage can't be dismissed as he prepares for his bout against Paul.
Jake Paul's journey from the digital realm of social media to the boxing ring has been meteoric. He preps for this high-stakes clash with top-tier sparring partners like Jared Anderson and Frank Sanchez, aiming to adapt to bigger and technically skilled opponents. His underdog status adds an intriguing layer to this matchup.
Sergio Mora shared his views on Chris Mannix's YouTube channel regarding the fight. Mora believes Paul hardly stands a chance if Joshua fights seriously, predicting an early knockout. However, fans consider that Joshua might play with his opponent, extending the match for entertainment purposes.
Some critics warn that Joshua's recent setbacks might slow him down. Nevertheless, influential figures like Eddie Hearn believe his newfound experience can lead to a swift victory against the YouTuber-turned-boxer.
