It takes less than a week to arrive Jake Paul And Anthony Joshua face off in one of the most anticipated fights of the year. However, Conor McGregora UFC star, warned that the YouTuber should cancel the fight because it was “very dangerous” for him.
McGregor expressed that he fears for Jake Paul’s physical integrity when he faces the former heavyweight champion due to the difference in weight, size and experience, according to the statement Bolavip.
For the Irishman, the fight should not take place as there is no sporting equivalence and Paul should understand that the Briton represents a significant risk unless it is agreed as an exhibition.
The former UFC champion commented that he recently spent time with Joshua and that he saw “the darkness” in him, an intensity that makes him “capable of doing a lot of damage in the ring.”
Despite this, McGregor stated that he would respect Paul if he goes ahead with the fight, which seems inevitable given that the event is just days away and neither team has shown any intention of canceling.
“I sat ringside and watched Anthony Joshua fight. He’s a man who hits hard, he’s got anger in him, he’s got darkness in him. In my opinion the fight shouldn’t go on,” McGregor said.
It is the first time that Jake Paul has suffered such an obvious physical disadvantage in his boxing career. In previous fights, the YouTuber has had a size and weight advantage over rivals such as Julio César Chávez Jr., Gervonta Davis (whose fight was suspended) and Anderson Silva.
This will be the first professional fight of the “golden rooster“, as his previous fights were exhibitions due to a lack of equivalence with his rivals. Since this is a professional fight, the official rules apply: weight limit in 245 pounds (111 kilos), agreed to the fight eight three-minute roundsand gloves 10 ounces (280 grams).
According to information from TUDUMAnthony Joshua comes into this fight with greatness 6.6 feet (almost two meters high)while Paul is 6.1 feet (1.85 meters) tall, a difference of almost 30 cm.
Likewise, the Brit registered a weight of 252 pounds (114 kilos), while the influencer reached 200 pounds (90 kilos), a difference of more than 20 kilos.
During the final episode of “MVP UNCUT: Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua | 2 weeks later”Paul assured that he had identified the British’s main weakness after analyzing videos of their defeats.
As he explained, he found a clear pattern in his fights against Andy Ruiz, Daniel Dubois and Oleksandr Usyk. “If you analyze it, he has lost to fighters who are smaller than him. That is his weakness, his kryptonite: the faster fighters who cannot take his strongest punches,” he said.
