“This is a crazy fight. Isn’t it? Like, if you would have told me this five – How long has Jake Paul been in it now? Five years. If you would have told me this five years ago, I would have never, never thought that this was possible,” Aspinall said on his YouTube channel.
“Anthony Joshua, former Olympic gold medalist, two-time heavyweight champion of the world, fought all the greats of this era apart from Tyson Fury. And now he’s fighting Jake Paul who is essentially social media guy, former Disney guy, but also, I’ve got to give him his credit. He’s a pretty good boxer. Like, he’s coming into it. He’s getting better every fight it seems. Questionable opponents.”

“But with the opposition Anthony Joshua has been fighting over his career from the Olympics to the heavyweight champion of the world, in my opinion, he shouldn’t have any problems getting to him. It might take him a round or two, might take him a little bit more, but in my opinion, Anthony Joshua should blow him out after a couple of rounds … He should win pretty easily.”
