Anthony Joshua interview: Critics of Jake Paul fight ‘need to understand me. I don’t need to understand them’

When Anthony Joshua’s phone lit up, alerting him to the arrival of a new message, he had little idea the impact reading it would have on the rest of his 2025. At that time, he was preparing to make his return to the ring after more than a year out since his last fight — a disastrous fifth-round knockout by fellow British heavyweight Daniel Dubois in September 2024 — on the undercard of a fight between David Benavidez and Anthony Yarde in Saudi Arabia.
“My whole purpose was to fight in Saudi and be understated,” says the 36-year-old, speaking via Zoom from Miami, Florida, where he has been acclimatising before Friday’s bout against YouTuber Jake Paul, 28. “Don’t do the press conference. Don’t do the weigh-in. Just turn up. The Saudis run the show and said, ‘Yeah, you can just turn up and we’ll announce you on the day of the fight.’ I was like, ‘Perfect. I don’t want to do any media. I don’t want to do any build-up. I just want to turn up’.”

Shannon Briggs trained Jake Paul and delivers Anthony Joshua fight verdict: "This is the end"
Jake Paul is just days away from stepping through the ropes with Anthony Joshua — a fight few could have predicted would happen, but one with an outcome most believe is a foregone conclusion.
The YouTuber-turned-fighter will face the two-time unified heavyweight champion in a professionally sanctioned bout, stepping up his level of competition dramatically from the likes of a long-retired Mike Tyson or inactive Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
Speaking to Seconds Out, former heavyweight champion Shannon Briggs — who worked with Paul early on in his career alongside his brother, Logan — said that the fight really has only one outcome and that will be the end of the American’s campaign as we know it.
