“The American showman asked to increase the size of the ring in a match with the former world champion”, — write: sport.ua
The match in the royal division will take place on the night of December 20 in the American Miami. In recent days, some details of the upcoming meeting have emerged.
It all started with the fact that the boxers agreed on eight rounds instead of the usual 12 or at least ten. In addition, the contract prescribed restrictions for Joshua – he cannot weigh more than 111.1 kg.
A day before the fight, britishboxingnews reported that at the last moment, Paul asked to increase the size of the ring – the fight will be held in a large ring (6.7 x 6.7 meters), although 6×6 is most often used.
What does this mean? Jake has hinted several times that he plans to move a lot in the early rounds until AJ starts to tire.
Paul intends to gradually overbox his opponent, which will lead to a comfortable victory on points.
