I have sparred Anthony Joshua. I have been in Jake Paul's gym. Here is my verdict on their heavyweight fight
David Adeleye will be an interested spectator when Anthony Joshua collides with Jake Paul later this month.
Before this fight, Paul has faced some faded names from the boxing world including Mike Tyson and Julio Cesar Chavez, and he has also lost to Tommy Fury.
Joshua is a top five rated heavyweight who is hoping to land major fights against the likes of Tyson Fury and Daniel Dubois in 2026, but Paul is in his way.
Adeleye, a previous British champion, is hoping to rebuild himself after losing to Filip Hrgovic in August and he will be in action the same night Joshua faces Paul as he returns in Nigeria.
After sparring in the past with Joshua and also seeing Paul up close in the gym, Adeleye has had his say on the fascinating encounter.
“I was in the gym with him. Good fight, good fight, you know I’m the worst person, I always give political answers, I sit back. But listen, Jake Paul knows why he asked for ‘AJ.’ We’ll see what happens,” said Adeleye when speaking to Pro Boxing Fans .
“Jake is a leaner, he wants to listen, he asks questions, he digs deep, whatever is asked of him, he tries to provide. Everyone calls him a YouTuber, but this is a man with a lot of money. He pays for the best trainers, nutritionists, chefs, S&C coaches; he’s a full-time athlete now.”
