đź”— Share this article I'll dominate 'serious combatant' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua The British boxer is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-bout contest which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform. Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the two fighters came face-to-face to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight. Former twice unified boxing king Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami venue on 19 December. Fighter's Mindset "I'm going to damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, stated. "I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset. "I will really want to injure him. That's what I want to do." Respectful Exchange In spite of these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally recognized for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other. Paul rather attacked former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer. Taking Aim at Fury Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory. "[Paul] is superior to Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented. "I give him credit for that." Serious Fighter In spite of saying he intends to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent. "Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated. Paul's History Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional. He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023. Financial Attraction However, the relative newcomer remains one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, consistently making massive financial rewards. Forecast and Confidence The 28 year old predicted a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would prevent the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now. "It will be my match with Fury next year," Paul said. Physical Disparity As the two fighters engaged in the traditional confrontation, with their size difference on show, it drove home just how unlikely this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the bout is truly happening.
