Joshua, on the other hand, acknowledged the monetary incentive for taking on Paul, stating, “It’s a big opportunity for me.”
Both fighters have emphasized their commitment to delivering an exciting show. Joshua hinted that this might trend a new direction for boxing, potentially encouraging more fighters to venture into unique matchups for significant paydays.
