Wealth & Comfort Affecting AJ\u2019s Game<\/p>\n
Paul, 28, sees what many fans have observed in Joshua, 36. He\u2019s become chinny, inactive, and isn\u2019t the fighter that he once was when he turned pro in 2013. Above that, Joshua is rich with a net worth estimated at $150\u2013$195 million.<\/p>\n
Psychologically Fragile? Signs Say Yes<\/p>\n
The wealth he\u2019s accumulated has clearly taken something out of him as well, as he\u2019s become increasingly more inactive over the last three years.<\/p>\n
Moreover, his psychological mindset has been questioned by fans.\u00a0Joshua\u2019s\u00a0\u201cdarkness retreat,\u201d in which he paid \u00a32,000 to lock himself away for four days from October 16 to October 20, 2023, led some to believe he\u2019s beginning to crumble upstairs. Many fans believe Joshua is just a basket case at this point.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Paul and Joshua will meet on December 19th in an eight-round fight at the\u00a0Kaseya Center in Miami. The event will be broadcast live on Netflix.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom Jake Paul\u2019s side, he\u2019s deluded enough to believe that if he gets inside, he\u2019s [got a chance to defeat Anthony Joshua],\u201d said Spencer Oliver to talkSport Boxing<\/a>. \u201cHe does believe because otherwise it wouldn\u2019t be going ahead. He truly believes he can win this fight.\u201d<\/p>\n If Jake Pressures Early, AJ Could Crack<\/p>\n It\u2019s interesting to note the reaction Joshua fans have to Jake believing he can win. They seem to be angry about it and not accepting the possibility of AJ losing to Paul. If they look with eyes open at what happened with Joshua in his last fight and other bouts, they\u2019d accept the reality that he\u2019s not the same fighter he once was. He\u2019s gotten old.<\/p>\n \u201cHe doesn\u2019t realize that there are levels to this game,\u201d said Spencer. \u201cHe\u2019s stupid enough to get to the ring with Anthony Joshua. Yeah, he has lost those fights, but he has gotten up. But we\u2019re talking about world-class punches. We\u2019re talking about levels. If he chinny at Jake Paul\u2019s level? The answer is categorically no.\u201d<\/p>\n Since 2014, Olly Campbell has brought readers clear ringside perspective and a steady voice on boxing\u2019s biggest nights.<\/p>\n
