The former president commended Jake Paul’s stamina and ability in his bout with heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, calling it a display of great courage.
President Donald Trump shared his thoughts on the Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua fight that took place earlier this week, praising Paul’s performance in a social media post.
“I just got to watch the Jake Paul Fight, and he did really well, especially as a display of GREAT courage against a very talented and large Anthony Joshua. Fantastic entertainment, but kudos to Jake for his stamina, and frankly, ability, against a much bigger man!”
Trump’s comments came shortly after Paul, a former YouTube personality turned professional boxer, faced Anthony Joshua, the British heavyweight who has held multiple world titles. The fight generated significant attention due to Paul’s rise in boxing and the size disparity between the two fighters.
JAKE PAUL’S PERFORMANCE: A “DISPLAY OF GREAT COURAGE”
Paul, who entered the ring with a height and weight disadvantage, endured a grueling match against Joshua, who has a significant reach and knockout power. Despite the odds, Paul displayed remarkable stamina and technical boxing skills that were praised by many, including Trump.
Paul’s efforts during the match earned him recognition beyond his prior reputation as a social media star. His courage in facing a top-tier opponent has led to more respect within the boxing world.
ANTHONY JOSHUA: A CHALLENGING OPPONENT
Anthony Joshua, who entered the ring as the more seasoned boxer, is considered one of the top heavyweights of his generation. The fight was a major test for Jake Paul, and many commentators had predicted a one-sided victory for Joshua due to his superior size and experience.
Joshua, who holds multiple world titles, was unable to secure a decisive knockout, and the fight extended to all rounds, further showcasing Paul’s determination and effort.
