🔗 Share this article I will dominate 'legitimate fighter' Paul - Joshua Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be shown live on Netflix. British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the pair confronted each other to promote the upcoming heavyweight fight. Former two-time world boxing king Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th. Fighter's Mentality "I plan to damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared. "I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset. "I will really want to injure him. That's what I want to do." Civil Exchange Despite these statements, a composed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually known for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other. Paul rather criticized former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer. Taking Aim at Tyson Fury Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted British rival Tyson Fury - and declined a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory. "[Paul] outshines Fury - he's present here," the boxer commented. "I acknowledge that." Legitimate Fighter In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his opponent's pugilistic talent. "Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated. Jake Paul's Background Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional. He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023. Commercial Success Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's greatest commercial attractions, consistently making huge paydays. Prediction and Confidence The 28 year old predicted a stoppage in round four or five and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now. "The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul stated. Physical Disparity As the two fighters participated in the usual face-off, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it highlighted just how surprising this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is truly proceeding.
