Why Anthony Joshua vs Jake Paul is a must-see fight – Peter Oboh

Why Anthony Joshua vs Jake Paul is a must-see fight – Peter Oboh

The former British Commonwealth Light Heavyweight boxing champion, Peter Oboh, has said that the Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul fight is a must-see, give the quality and personalities of the fighters.

Oboh, a boxing champion-turned cleric, said while Joshua still has a lot of fight in him, Paul has a big heart for getting in the ring with a heavy puncher.

His words: “The gospel truth is that Anthony Joshua is a man I have great regards and respect for when it comes to boxing.

“We must always remember that Anthony Joshua was not only two times heavyweight world boxing champion, he was an Olympic super heavyweight boxing gold medalist as well. He is one of the greatest boxing risk takers at this time for agreeing to fight Jake Paul.

“I see Jake Paul as a man with the biggest heart in today’s boxing arena for willing to get in the ring with a big puncher like Anthony Joshua. AJ still has some fight left in him,  not like Mike  Tyson who Jake Paul beat when Tyson was already a living shadow of his old self.

“This Joshua vs Paul contest of December 19 in the United States  of America will be very interesting. The truth is to me, Jake Paul is a good  fighter, and world  class. as well. Many boxing experts may refuse to agree with me on that. Again, I think Jake Paul’s strategy will be to punch and hold until the bell goes off.

“He, Paul, can still be dangerous to Joshua too, while Joshua’s will may be to punch him out. I will make sure I see this fight. It will be quite interesting to watch.

“We must remember there is a big weight difference between both fighters  as well. The sad part is any one that happened to lose this big fight, his boxing future maybe gone for good.”
