🔗 Share this article I'll overwhelm 'legitimate boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight round fight which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform. British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters met personally to build hype for next month's boxing match. Ex two-time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December. Boxer's Mentality "I plan to injure his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, said. "I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think. "I'm going to seriously aim to hurt him. That's what I want to do." Respectful Interaction In spite of those words, a calm Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually known for his dramatics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other. Jake Paul instead criticized former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou declined a bout proposal. Taking Aim at Tyson Fury Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted British opponent Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win. "[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented. "I give him credit for that." Legitimate Fighter Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability. "Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he remarked. Jake Paul's History Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since becoming pro. He lost to Briton Fury in 2023. Commercial Success However, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's biggest financial successes, regularly earning huge paydays. Forecast and Belief The 28-year-old forecast a knockout win in round four or five and stated he would derail the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now. "It's going to be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul stated. Physical Disparity As the two fighters engaged in the customary confrontation, with their height and weight contrast evident, it highlighted just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is really happening.
