Lapin - on Paul: "If he had come to boxing earlier, he could have reached a really serious level"

Alexandr Ormanji Dec. 23, 2025, 6:46 a.m.

Sergei Lapin, director of Oleksandr Usyk's team, commented on Jake Paul, who lost prematurely to Anthony Joshua last Saturday.

“To be honest, if he had come to boxing earlier, he could have reached a really serious level. I see good reactions, coordination, and solid mental abilities in his actions. In boxing, nothing is impossible. He still has time to try to achieve his dream,” Lapin's words are quoted by the portal Ready to Fight.

Recall, Joshua finished Paul in the sixth round.
