In a recent appearance on the Mr. Verzace Podcast, Anthony Joshua revealed the instructions he received for this sports agreement.

A clear mission in the ring

“They gave me a very clear message and a specific mission,” confessed the British boxer during the digital space broadcast. The athlete explained to the audience that his purpose was to “get rid of Jake Paul, get him out of our beloved sport, which is boxing.”

The outcome of the event perfectly executed the strategy that the former champion had in mind from the beginning of the camp. A right hand connected to the face sent the YouTuber to the emergency room, generating structural injuries that today compromise his sporting continuity.

In the same interview, Anthony Joshua indicated that the length of the event was a secondary factor for him. "It didn't matter if it took me one round or six rounds, I think the job was completely done. Without a doubt I fulfilled what was asked of me," the athlete said.

The impact on the rival's career

The consequences of the impact keep Jake Paul away from training and there is the possibility of a definitive halt to his activity in the ring. Given this clinical panorama of his rival, Anthony Joshua maintains a direct position on the actions he took that night.

The fighter also spoke with the specialized media Pro Boxing Fans to reiterate his position regarding the current status of his opponent. “That was what was asked of me when I accepted the fight, [to end Jake Paul's boxing career],” he told the aforementioned news portal.

To conclude his intervention with Pro Boxing Fans, Anthony Joshua stated: “I think I fulfilled my mission.” These statements generated responses in the boxing environment, including the promoter Turki Al-Alshikh, who reacted on his social networks with laughing emojis alluding to the outcome of the fight.
