Anthony Joshua on performance against Paul: 'I should have done better'
Anthony Joshua expressed that he still has many things to improve because his team and also the fans expect more from him
Anthony Joshua was not satisfied with his performance against Jake Paul last Friday and believes he could have done better despite brutally knocking him out in the sixth round of the bout held at the Kaseya Center in Miami.
In the post-fight press conference, Joshua expressed that he still has many things to improve because his team And the fans also expect more from him.
“I should have done better, I should have done better. It’s a win, but it’s not a success. I think my coach expects more from me, and I expect more from myself. But what can we do? We can’t turn back the clock. I have to move on, I have to put that in the past,” he said.
“Now, after today, maybe you’ll see a bit of social media trying to squeeze all the attention out of the algorithm, but for me, it’s already in the past. I can’t live off that win; I have a lot of things to improve. So no, I’m not happy,” he added.
The fight started with very little action in the early rounds because Jake Paul spent his time running around the ring to avoid Anthony Joshua’s powerful punches. By the middle of the fight, the YouTuber-turned-boxer showed signs of fatigue, and that was his downfall.
The Briton was able to connect with the American and knocked him down four times (twice in the fifth and twice more in the sixth). It was precisely in that round that Joshua finished Paul with a powerful right hand that fractured his jaw in two places. Following the victory, Anthony Joshua declared that he wants to face Tyson Fury next, while Paul asserted that he will continue fighting and again called for a fight with Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez. Anthony Joshua, 36, recovered from the knockout he suffered against Daniel Dubois last September by defeating Paul. The Briton has a record of 29 wins, 25 of them by knockout, and four losses. Jake Paul, 27, suffered his second career defeat, the first by knockout. The American YouTuber also has a record of 12 wins (six by knockout) and two losses.
