In an interview with the Impaulsive podcast, Pam shared that Joshua addressed her in the crowd with the phrase: "Mom, just remember, it's just boxing. It's just a fight." She noted that despite her son suffering a broken jaw and needing surgery, she does not harbor any resentment towards Joshua. Stepnik emphasized that Jake chose to step into the ring against a stronger opponent himself.
This fight was Anthony's first after his setback in 2024 against Daniel Dubois, and his record now stands at 29 wins and 4 losses. Despite the triumph, Joshua's coach, Egor Golub, believes that the boxer is not yet ready to fight Tyson Fury. After the match with Paul, Joshua called on Fury to settle the disputes that arose on social media in a face-to-face bout.
