Saudi boxing figure Turki Alalshikh is optimistic that a victory by Anthony Joshua over Jake Paul would be advantageous for his field. The social media personality, now turned boxer, challenged Joshua earlier this year, expressing his confidence in defeating him. Despite initial doubts about the fight materializing, recent reports suggest that a deal is being finalized for a Christmas showdown.
The anticipated clash is scheduled for December 19 in a professional heavyweight matchup. Alalshikh, actively involved in Joshua’s recent fights, hopes that Joshua, also known as ‘AJ,’ can overcome the challenge posed by Paul. Experts in the boxing community predict a swift victory for Joshua, although some believe the bout could last longer than expected.
The event, set to take place in Miami, is slated to be aired live on Netflix, with the fighters expected to enter the ring around 11 pm local time. The fight times may vary based on the undercard duration and are geared towards the American audience.
