After last weekend’s massive boxing event between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, which became the biggest fight of the year regarding viewership, the boxing world returns this weekend with another exciting matchup. This time, Josh Wagner will step into the ring to challenge for the WBO Global and IBF International Welterweight Titles against David Papot. While the stakes for this fight are undeniably high, the level of anticipation isn’t quite as intense as the spectacle of last weekend’s showdown.
That said, with two of the top welterweights in the game going head-to-head, this fight is still expected to deliver a solid event. As we look ahead to the weekend’s action, here’s a breakdown of what both fighters bring.
Josh Wagner vs. David Papot Predictions
Starting with David Papot, also known by his nickname ‘L’enfant de Penhoet,’ he has built an impeccable career in boxing with a record of 29-0-1. Hailing from Saint-Nazaire, France, Papot has remained undefeated. Fighting out of his hometown, he has captured the attention of boxing fans worldwide as he continues to defend his position and climb the ranks, firmly establishing himself as a champion in the 147-lb division.
Meanwhile, talking about challenger Wagner, aka ‘The Boss, ’ is another rising star in the boxing world with an undefeated record of 18-0-0. Born in Orangeville, Ontario, and fighting out of Edmonton, Alberta, Wagner has quickly made a name for himself with 18 wins. Undoubtedly, he is a serious contender in the 147 lbs division, knocking out names like Abraham Juarez and others. With a perfect record and a strong current streak, Wagner is ready to challenge for the title and prove himself as a force to be reckoned with.
Regarding the prediction, Papot seems likely to win this fight thanks to his solid experience. While he tends to take his fights to the end and has only knocked out 4 of his opponents, accumulating 187 rounds, this could play to his advantage. Papot’s ability to endure lengthy fights and consistent pacing may give him the edge, potentially wearing down Wagner throughout the fight and pushing him to gas out.
