The Daniel Dubois knockout of Anthony Joshua last year was one of the greatest punches seen in some time, maybe of the entire 21st century when it hit home on Joshua.
In some ways it also represented an arrival of the new younger generation in the division.
Sure, Dubois lost to Usyk, the heavyweight Kingpin this year, but he’ll be back, the win over Joshua was one for the record books.
That was a baseball bat of a knockout from Dubois and ahead of December 19th in Florida, surely there are some things that can be learned
from it by Jake Paul.
Okay, Paul is the underdog.
What Jake Paul Can Learn From Daniel Dubois Knockout Of Anthony Joshua
But Paul will have been hit on the chin by proper professional heavyweight boxers in sparring for this one in the run up this month as well, contrary to what some claim.
He’s sparring the likes of Frank Sanchez, Jared Anderson and Lawrence Okolie for Anthony Joshua later this month who are all trying to take his head clean off his shoulders.
Make no mistake about that.
Paul so far has withstood that in sparring already and has not been knocked out or knocked down by any of them in sparring ahead of the fight, as if it happened, it would be known by now given the nature of digital landscape boxing and all professional sport now exists in.
That is going to weigh in Joshua’s mind as well coming into this, the fact that Paul is getting that level of sparring.
Paul can ultimately learn from the right hand Dubois caught Joshua with last year and take heart from this, and watch for the openings and use the appropriate methods to set this up.
For Joshua, he claims here now he’s not underestimating Jake Paul.
