đź”— Share this article I will dominate 'credible boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua The British boxer is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be streamed live on the streaming platform. Briton Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to publicize the upcoming bout. Ex two-time unified title holder Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge disparity - at Miami venue on December 19th. Boxer's Mindset "I will injure his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, declared. "I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality. "I will genuinely try to hurt him. That's my goal." Respectful Interaction Despite these statements, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually known for his dramatics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other. Paul rather attacked former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer. Targeting Tyson Fury Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win. "[Paul] is better than Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented. "I acknowledge that." Legitimate Opponent Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent. "Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated. Jake Paul's Background Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro. He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year. Financial Success However, the relative newcomer remains one of the sport's biggest commercial attractions, frequently receiving substantial financial rewards. Forecast and Confidence The 28 year old forecast a stoppage in rounds four or five and claimed he would prevent the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly in the works for 2026. "It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said. Physical Disparity As Joshua and Paul met for the usual confrontation, with their height and weight contrast on show, it highlighted just how improbable this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is actually going ahead.
