Saudi boxing figure Turki Alalshikh expresses optimism about the prospect of Anthony Joshua defeating Jake Paul in a boxing match. The YouTuber-turned-boxer had challenged Joshua earlier, claiming his confidence in beating Joshua due to perceived weaknesses in his boxing skills. Despite initial doubts about the fight materializing, recent reports suggest that negotiations are underway for the two to meet in the ring this Christmas.
The anticipated clash between Joshua and Paul is scheduled for December 19 as a professional heavyweight showdown. Alalshikh, closely associated with Joshua’s recent fights, hopes that Joshua will emerge victorious against Paul. The outcome of this match is expected to resolve the ongoing concern surrounding Paul in the boxing world.
Alalshikh, in a previous interview with Tha Boxing Voice, highlighted the significance of Joshua prevailing over Paul. Many boxing experts predict a quick win for Joshua, while Lawrence Okolie, a top heavyweight contender, anticipates a more extended battle. Okolie suggests that if Paul can withstand Joshua’s initial hits, the fight may become more intriguing.
The match between Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul is set to take place in Miami on December 19, just before Christmas. The event is likely to commence at 11 pm local time, catering to the American audience, with live coverage available on Netflix.
