🔗 Share this article I will dominate 'credible combatant' Paul - Joshua The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be shown live on Netflix. British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" the American as the two fighters came face-to-face to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight. Ex two-time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th. Boxer's Mindset "I will damage his features and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35, stated. "I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset. "I will really want to hurt him. That's my intention." Civil Exchange In spite of these statements, a calm Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually recognized for his showmanship - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other. Jake Paul instead criticized former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer. Taking Aim at Fury Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul. "[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said. "I respect him for that." Legitimate Opponent In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent. "Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he said. Paul's Background Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since becoming pro. He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023. Commercial Attraction However, the novice is still one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, consistently making massive paydays. Forecast and Confidence The 28-year-old forecast a stoppage in rounds four or five and stated he would derail the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently in the works for two years from now. "It's going to be my match with Fury next year," Paul said. Physical Difference As Joshua and Paul met for the usual face-off, with their size difference clearly visible, it drove home just how improbable this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is truly happening.
