Turki Alalshikh has revived Anthony Joshua’s comments about the task of removing Jake Paul from boxing, sharing a story about the heavyweight’s comments on social media along with a series of laughing emojis.
Joshua made the comments during a recent appearance on the Mr. Verzace podcast as he reflected on his sixth-round knockout win over Paul in December.
“There was a stern message given and a task laid upon me, and that was to get rid of Jake Paul, remove him from our beloved sport, which is boxing,” Joshua said.
“Whether it took me one lap, whether it took me six laps, I believe the job was well and truly done. I definitely delivered.”
Joshua stopped Paul in the sixth round of their heavily publicized crossover fight. Paul, who typically competes closer to cruiserweight, was dropped and eventually stopped by the former heavyweight champion.

The defeat left Paul with a broken jaw which later required surgery. Paul revealed last month that his return to boxing is on hold as he continues to recover from the injury.
Joshua’s comments were delivered with a smile, but Alalshikh appeared to enjoy the joke as well, reposting the article on Tuesday, adding laughing and smiling emojis to his post.
The Saudi boxing financier has become one of the most influential figures in the sport in recent years, helping to stage many of boxing’s biggest events.
Paul has yet to announce a return date for his next boxing match, while his Most Valuable Promotions company has expanded into mixed martial arts promotion in recent months.
