đŸ”— Share this article I'll overwhelm 'credible combatant' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight round fight which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform. British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the pair came face-to-face to publicize next month's bout. Former two time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on December 19th. Boxer's Mentality "I'm going to break his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, said. "I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset. "I will really want to injure him. That's my goal." Respectful Exchange In spite of such comments, a composed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically known for his showmanship - were respectful and remained civil with each other. Jake Paul instead criticized former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity. Taking Aim at Fury Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK rival Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win. "Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated. "I respect him for that." Serious Opponent In spite of saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent. "Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated. Jake Paul's Background Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro. He lost to Briton Fury in 2023. Commercial Success However, the novice is still one of boxing's biggest commercial attractions, frequently receiving huge financial rewards. Forecast and Confidence The 28-year-old predicted a stoppage in rounds four or five and asserted he would derail the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026. "It will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said. Physical Difference As Joshua and Paul met for the traditional face-off, with their size difference evident, it highlighted just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the match is actually going ahead.
