british boxer Derek Chisora He shared his assessment of the knockout that ended Anthony Joshua’s fight against Jake Paul.

“This should have happened a long time ago. Joshua did what he had to do. Forget everything else. I was among those who said that if the fight dragged on there would be questions. But the ring was too big. Jake didn’t want to fight – he tried to fight. Joshua said everything right: I’m going to suck your strength and then I’m going to knock you out… He broke his jaw,” Chisora said.
