Usyk on Joshua vs. Paul: 'A Rolls-Royce can't compete with a Fiat'
Oleksandr Usyk explained that the duel between Joshua and Paul on December 19 at the Kaseya Center in Miami makes no sense
Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk asserted that Jake Paul is not on the same level as Anthony Joshua, comparing the YouTuber to a Fiat and the former heavyweight champion to a Rolls-Royce.
In statements to Boxing King Media, Usyk explained that the fight between Joshua and Paul on December 19 at the Kaseya Center in Miami makes no sense.
“Dangerous for Anthony? Maybe. A Rolls-Royce can't be compared to an old car. A Rolls-Royce can't compete with a Fiat. It doesn't make sense. Jake Paul is a Fiat,” he said.
Remember that the fight between Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul will be an official bout and will take place in the heavyweight division. The fight will last eight rounds—each three minutes long—with 10-ounce gloves, and will be streamed worldwide on Netflix. The YouTuber-turned-boxer had planned to fight Gervonta Davis on November 14th, but because 'Tank' was recently accused by his ex-girlfriend Courtney Rossel of assault, kidnapping, and false imprisonment, the fight was canceled. Paul expressed his anger over what happened and assured everyone he would find an opponent soon. To everyone's surprise, the influencer chose Joshua, and most sports experts predict the Briton should win easily. However, some experts, like Tyson Fury, see the American fighter as having a chance. Anthony Joshua, 36, was knocked out in his last fight against Daniel Dubois last September. The British WBA lightweight regular has a record of 28 wins, 25 by knockout, and four losses. Jake Paul, 27, has five wins after suffering his first loss to Tommy Fury by split decision, brother of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury. The American YouTuber also has a record of 12 wins (six by knockout) and one loss.
