🔗 Share this article I will stamp all over 'credible boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-round match which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix. Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight. Former two time unified boxing king Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th. Fighter's Mindset "I will damage his features and hurt his body. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated. "I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset. "I intend to seriously aim to injure him. That's what I want to do." Civil Exchange Despite those words, a calm Joshua and social media star Paul - normally recognized for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other. Jake Paul instead targeted former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity. Targeting Fury Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul win. "[Paul] outshines Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented. "I give him credit for that." Serious Opponent In spite of saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills. "Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated. Jake Paul's History Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro. He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023. Financial Success Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's greatest commercial attractions, consistently making massive paydays. Forecast and Belief The 28-year-old predicted a stoppage in round four or five and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently in the works for 2026. "The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said. Physical Difference As the two fighters met for the usual stare-down, with their size difference evident, it drove home just how improbable this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the fight is actually proceeding.
