🔗 Share this article I'll overwhelm 'legitimate boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight round match which will be broadcast live on Netflix. British boxer Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight. Former two time world heavyweight champion Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th. Boxer's Mentality "I will break his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, declared. "I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality. "I intend to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my goal." Respectful Interaction In spite of those words, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - normally known for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other. Paul instead attacked ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal. Taking Aim at Fury Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized UK rival Tyson Fury - and declined a large bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul win. "Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said. "I give him credit for that." Serious Fighter Despite stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability. "Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated. Paul's Background Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional. He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in 2023. Commercial Success However, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's largest financial successes, regularly earning substantial financial rewards. Prediction and Belief The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in round four or five and claimed he would derail the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently being planned for 2026. "The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Paul stated. Physical Disparity As the two fighters engaged in the usual face-off, with their size difference evident, it highlighted just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the match is truly going ahead.
