Saudi boxing figure Turki Alalshikh sees a positive outcome in Anthony Joshua defeating Jake Paul. Paul, transitioning from YouTube to boxing, challenged Joshua, claiming he would emerge victorious due to Joshua’s perceived weaknesses. Despite initial doubts about the fight materializing, recent reports suggest the two are close to finalizing a bout scheduled for Christmas.
The anticipated match is set for December 19 in a heavyweight clash. Alalshikh, closely linked to Joshua’s recent fights, hopes for Joshua to overcome the challenge posed by Paul. Observers expect Joshua to dominate the fight, with many predicting an early victory for the British boxer. However, there are contrasting opinions, with some suggesting a longer contest if Paul can withstand Joshua’s initial attacks.
The Joshua-Paul showdown is scheduled in Miami, just days before Christmas, likely airing around 11pm local time. The event’s timing aims to cater to the American audience and will be broadcast live on Netflix.
