Usyk compared Paul to a ‘Fiat’, while praising AJ as a ‘Rolls-Royce’
Joshua stepped in after Paul’s initial opponent, Gervonta Davis, withdrew from the event.
This matchup is anticipated to deliver an exciting night of action.
Joshua also boasts a longer reach of six inches and a heavier frame, weighing approximately two stone more.
Many believe that the former world champion Paul has demonstrated his ability, having defeated experienced fighters like Nate Diaz, Anderson Silva, and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., while also holding his own against the legendary Mike Tyson.
However, despite Paul’s record of 12 wins out of 13 matches—with his only loss occurring against Tommy Fury in 2023—current heavyweight champion Usyk believes that AJ is the clear favorite.
The Ukrainian star fighter is well aware of what it takes to face the former UK champion, having defeated Joshua twice.
Usyk considers AJ to be a “Rolls-Royce” in the boxing ring, while viewing Paul as merely a “Fiat.”
He has urged fans to “pray” for the American, as he is interested in fighting Paul himself afterward.
Usyk stated: “If Anthony Joshua wants, he can defeat this guy.
“Listen, Joshua is an Olympic champion. Jake Paul is a sportsman, YouTuber, and entertainer.
“(Joshua is) a Rolls-Royce. (Paul is) a Fiat. That’s the truth.
“It’s business. There’s more money in this. We need to pray for Jake Paul.
“I will pray for Jake Paul, because I want to fight Jake Paul in the Octagon!”
Fans were quick to respond to Usyk’s predictions.
One remarked: “Usyk knows what he’s talking about.”
Another commented: “Please don’t frighten Jake.”
One noted: “It’s amusing because it’s true.”
Another added: “Bro just said we need to pray for Jake.”
