🔗 Share this article I will dominate 'credible combatant' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform. Briton Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" the American as the pair met personally to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight. Former two-time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December. Boxer's Mindset "I will damage his features and damage his physique. I'm here to prove my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, said. "I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think. "I will seriously aim to cause him pain. That's what I want to do." Civil Interaction In spite of those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually known for his showmanship - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other. Jake Paul instead criticized former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity. Targeting Tyson Fury Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK opponent Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul win. "[Paul] is better than Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated. "I acknowledge that." Serious Fighter Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability. "Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated. Jake Paul's Background Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional. He lost to British fighter Fury in 2023. Financial Attraction However, the relative newcomer remains one of the sport's greatest financial successes, frequently receiving huge earnings. Prediction and Confidence The 28 year old forecast a knockout win in round four or five and claimed he would stop the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now. "The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared. Size Disparity As Joshua and Paul engaged in the traditional stare-down, with their physical disparity on show, it drove home just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the fight is really proceeding.
