Nigerian-born former world heavyweight boxing champion, Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua has received a ‘visual’ warning from social media influencer, Jake Paul ahead of their controversial fight in the middle of next month.

Paul is using his resources as a content provider and new media influencer to gain support and boost his image, though many observers believe he stands no chance against the former champ.
In one of his efforts to gain a psychological advantage over ‘AJ,’ Paul posted an extensive video of himself training in a gym, wearing a fitness vest and belt, as he stepped on a large tyre while punching a pad held by a training partner.
The earnings, which will be split equally by both fighters is expected to reach over £140m from a fight that Joshua has already dubbed as a ‘mega show,’ while the official promotional tag is Judgement Day.
To prove how serious he is about whipping ‘AJ’ on December 19th, Paul posted on Instagram a video of his training drills, which he believes will excite his 28.2 million followers.
A report by The Mail of England revealed: “(The 28-year-old Jake Paul) can be seen doing footwork drills and cardio, while adding in weight training such as weighted pull ups, push ups and inclined crunches.
“He was even shown training his neck strength, which will be needed if he hopes to survive the punching power that knocked out giant heavyweight Francis Ngannou just last year.”
