đź”— Share this article I will overwhelm 'serious boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-round contest which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform. Briton Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the two fighters confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming boxing match. Ex two time unified heavyweight champion Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth disparity - at Miami venue on 19 December. Fighter's Mentality "I plan to injure his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, stated. "I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality. "I intend to genuinely try to hurt him. That's what I want to do." Respectful Exchange In spite of these statements, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Paul - normally recognized for his theatrics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other. Paul instead targeted ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer. Taking Aim at Fury Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at UK opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul win. "Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated. "I acknowledge that." Serious Fighter In spite of saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's pugilistic talent. "Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked. Jake Paul's History Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional. He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year. Financial Success However, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's biggest commercial attractions, frequently receiving huge earnings. Forecast and Belief The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in round four or five and stated he would prevent the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently in the works for 2026. "It will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated. Physical Difference As both boxers engaged in the traditional face-off, with their size difference clearly visible, it drove home just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is really going ahead.
