🔗 Share this article I will dominate 'legitimate combatant' Jake Paul - Joshua The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform. British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the combatants met personally to promote next month's bout. Ex two time world title holder Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive mismatch - at Miami arena on 19 December. Boxer's Mindset "I will injure his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, declared. "I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality. "I will really want to cause him pain. That's my goal." Civil Interaction In spite of such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually known for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other. Jake Paul rather targeted former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity. Targeting Tyson Fury Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized British opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul win. "Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua said. "I respect him for that." Serious Fighter In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent. "Jake is a credible opponent," he stated. Jake Paul's Background Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional. He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023. Financial Attraction However, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's biggest financial successes, consistently making massive financial rewards. Prediction and Belief The 28 year old predicted a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would stop the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently under discussion for two years from now. "It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared. Size Disparity As both boxers met for the usual confrontation, with their physical disparity on show, it drove home just how unlikely this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the match is actually proceeding.
