Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua to be cancelled as | Boxing News

The British fighter had been getting ready to return to competitors in the close to future before agreeing to the conflict with Paul. With just weeks remaining before the pair exchange blows, both Joshua and Paul have already had the chance to assess one another after coming face-to-face at a Miami press convention last week.

When the 2 boxers squared up, quite a few figures in the boxing world had been left astonished by the big measurement distinction. Following the head-to-head confrontation, Garcia voiced his issues about the match-up, claiming it would not proceed.

He wrote: “I seriously doubt this Jake vs Anthony fight takes place. It’s too much of a disadvantage, just don’t make sense. After the press conference that’s apparent.”

Paul was infuriated by Garcia’s remarks and swiftly responded to the skilled boxer, saying: “What don’t make sense is you fighting for a WBC belt [clash with Mario Barrios] after coming off an a** whooping by Rolly [Romero]. And five other things I could bring up. But hey, that’s no knock on you, you have big…nah you ain’t having big nothing.”

Following the collapse of Paul’s bout with Davis, the American called out a number of boxing stars, including Garcia. The two have exchanged verbal jabs over the years and the social media character was eager to settle their rivalry.

However, the bout failed to come to fruition, with Paul now set to face Joshua in the squared circle instead.
