Bradley Warns Joshua Is “mentally Not There” Vs Paul

Tim Bradley says Anthony Joshua is ““Mentally it’s not there.” At this late stage in his career, it is not certain that he will win his fight against Jake Paul.

Thiem points to his chin when discussing the decline of former two-time heavyweight champion Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs) heading into his Dec. 19 fight against Paul (12-1, 7 KOs).

Bradley says it’s a “dangerous fight” for 36-year-old Joshua, who was knocked out in his last bout against Daniel Dubois. He didn’t stand a chance in that fight. Tim says the power right hand and combinations Jake is throwing will be a problem for AJ. He sees Yeshua as fragile, Ready to crumble when hit on the chin.

“It’s not a sure thing that AJ is going to pull this off, man,” Tim Bradley said on his channel about the Anthony Joshua vs. Jake Paul fight..“AJ just wasn’t there mentally. AJ is an Olympic gold medalist and he’s fought better opposition. He’s reigned for a long time. He’s been at the top of the sport for a very long time.”

“Yes, he’s on the downside. This is a serious fight for both of these guys. This is a 50-50 battle In my eyes. AG [points to his chin]. Come on, man. I don’t know. “I wouldn’t predict any of that,” Bradley said.

As Tim says, Joshua has been in the professional ranks for a long time, absorbing shots from top fighters. His amateur career was not easy either. Fans witnessed his controversial Olympic gold medal win in 2012 against Italian Roberto Camarelli, a fight many boxing fans believe Joshua should have lost. The Olympics that year were in England.

“If Andy Ruiz can get in there with his short, beefy persona, get in there and get his hands on Anthony Joshua, I think Jake Paul has a chance,” Thiem said. “He’s a little quicker on his feet. He throws combinations, and he’s got that curling right hand that he likes to set up.”

Jake Paul is faster, more agile and lethal than 250-pound Andy Ruiz was when he knocked out Joshua in 2019. If Jake gets into Joshua, the fight could be over immediately in the first round.

“Anthony Joshua could be beaten. By Jake Paul? I don’t know. I’m serious about what I’m saying. This will be interesting. If Jake Paul beats Anthony Joshua, he’ll get credit in my book,” Bradley said.
