Joshua discusses Paul’s confidence and ‘seek and destroy mission’

When asked, Why does he think Paul believes he can beat him on December 19: “I think Chat GPT’s lying to him,” said AJ. “He’s probably typed into Chat GPT, ‘Do you think I can beat Anthony Joshua?’”

When asked about people saying he has to beat Paul by KO, otherwise he’s lost the fight: “I really understand where they’re coming from,” said Joshua. “I understand, I get it. I know the expectations and demands these fans have, and I respect it. If I didn’t respect it, I’d be honest with you and say ‘nah, they’re talking rubbish,’ but I do get it.”

“That’s my intention, to seek and destroy,” added Joshua.
