Tony Bellew Reacts To Anthony Joshua’s Performance vs Jake Paul After Predicting An Early KO
Former WBC cruiserweight titleholder Tony Bellew has commented following Anthony Joshua’s emphatic stoppage win over Jake Paul. The two-time unified heavyweight champion ‘AJ’ concluded the bout in the 6th round during their controversial fight at the Kaseya Center in Miami on Friday night. Paul found himself on the canvas twice in the 5th round before the powerful Brit finished things one round later, despite many, including Bellew, anticipating that the 36-year-old would take down the American in the earlier rounds. In a social media post, Bellew offered his thoughts on the encounter between ‘AJ’ and Paul, speaking positively about both boxers, emphasizing that the ‘most important thing’ was that ‘The Problem Child’ emerged from the fight without significant harm. “The most important thing imo is he didn’t leave him permanently hurt! I believe everyone won last night.. Fair play to Jake Paul, He tried everything he could to survive! AJ does what he set out to do which is stop Jake Paul! Boxing is and always will be the ultimate 1v1 sport!” The most important thing imo is he didn’t leave him permanently hurt! I believe everyone won last night..
