Tony Yoka Slams ‘YouTuber’ Jake Paul argues that he is the rightful opponent for Anthony Joshua’s next battle

Tony Yoka believes he deserves more for a fight against Anthony Joshua than Jake Paul, whom he as a ‘YouTuber,’ Not a boxer. Olympic gold medalist Yoka (14-3, 11 COs) in 2016 was mentioned as a potential opponent for Joshua (28-4, 25 COs) to fight in Ghana in December.

Yoka’s motivation: a world title shot

Yoka, 33, insists that the reason he wants to fight Joshua is not financial. He believes this because it would mean an immediate world title if he were to conquer. The France-born Yoka says it would be more advantageous for him to fight against Joshua than it would be to fight the WBC-TUs-Enticity Heavyweight Champion Agit Kabayel.

He believes that a victory over Joshua would mean more because he is a former world champion, while Kabayel has been waiting for years without getting a shot. However, it is difficult not to see that Yoka’s desire for the AJ fight to be motivated the attracting the millions what he would make. That would surely be the real reason.

With a record of 3-3 in its last six fights, Yoka is not arranged in the top 15 by any of the four sanctions bodies. He is not a big puncher and would be a relatively safe opponent for AJ to fight as a trust builder after being blown out by Daniel Dubois in five rounds last September at Wembley Stadium.

Joshua can make much more money to fight the massive popular Jake Paul than the seemingly off-and-his-Luck Yoka, who just hangs on a thread on his career. Tony’s losses to Martin Bakole, Carlos Takam and Ryad Merhy took all the air out of his career after his Olympic gold medal that won nine years ago in 2016.

“It feels to me that your opportunity has to be paid very well here,” Simon Jordan told Yoka.

“If I beat Joshua, I know that the next battle will be a title,” Yoka said and justified why he was interested in fighting AJ. “If I beat (Agit) Kabayel, I’ll just be in line as he has been for a few years.”

ISA title shot truly realistic?

Yoka is very unlikely to get a world title if he beat Joshua. He will be ignored as he is now, but not because he is dangerous. He is not well known, and his career is in the gutter after his losses to Bakole, Takam and Merhy. It is only surprising that Joshua is even considering a fight against him. The kind shows you how far Joshua has sunk for him to turn to a second -level fighter to use for reinforced purposes.

“I don’t know. I hear that there are speculation about this struggle. So I’m waiting for my team to come back to me, ‘Yoka said of a possible battle between him and Joshua in Ghana in December.
