Anthony Joshua’s potential fight with Jake Paul brutally blasted by Olympic gold medalist who calls out ‘AJ’

Tony Yoka aiming for fight with fellow Olympic gold medalist Anthony Joshua

Tony Yoka is a fighter who has been linked with Joshua in recent weeks, as ‘AJ’ is still searching for a confirmed opponent.

Yoka won gold at the 2016 Olympic Games and currently boasts a professional record of 14-3. In his last outing, ‘La Conquete’ handed Arslan Yallyev (16-0) his first professional loss.

When asked if he was currently in talks to face Joshua by BoxNation, Yoka denied that negotiations had begun. However, Yoka said a match with Joshua would be a ‘great fight’ as he welcomes a challenge from the Englishman.

“There’s history behind it, you know? We’re two Olympic gold medalists. It’s something that makes sense,” Yoka said.

The Frenchman said that Joshua doesn’t need to consider Tyson Fury or anyone else as potential opponents. “I’m here. You don’t have to look too far from there.”

Anthony Joshua versus Jake Paul bashed by Tony Yoka

When the topic of Joshua versus Paul came up in the interview, Yoka’s immediate response was, “That’s bull—-. I can’t believe it. You can’t make me believe that Anthony Joshua is going to fight Jake Paul.”

The Frenchman said that “Joshua doesn’t need money,” and that there is no true reason why he should accept a fight with the internet star.

“He is the fighter who makes the most money in boxing.”

Yoka said that he understood why Mike Tyson returned to face Paul, due to his age and desire to return. However, as for Joshua, Yoka said, “Joshua is still good for a heavyweight… You can’t tell me he’s going to fight Jake Paul. What’s the point?”
