🔗 Share this article I'll dominate 'legitimate fighter' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight round fight which will be streamed live on the streaming platform. British boxer Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the pair met personally to promote the upcoming boxing match. Ex two-time world boxing king Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's venue on 19 December. Boxer's Mentality "I'm going to break his face and break his body up. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, declared. "I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think. "I'm going to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my intention." Respectful Interaction Despite these statements, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually famous for his showmanship - were respectful and remained civil with each other. Paul rather attacked former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity. Targeting Fury Joshua, in the meantime, criticized British opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win. "[Paul] is superior to Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented. "I give him credit for that." Serious Opponent In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills. "Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he said. Paul's History Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since entering professional boxing. He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year. Commercial Success Still, the novice remains one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, consistently making massive financial rewards. Prediction and Confidence The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in round four or five and claimed he would stop the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly being planned for 2026. "The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared. Physical Disparity As Joshua and Paul participated in the customary stare-down, with their physical disparity on show, it emphasized just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is actually proceeding.
