🔗 Share this article I will overwhelm 'credible combatant' Jake Paul - Joshua The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be streamed live on the streaming platform. Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the combatants came face-to-face to publicize next month's heavyweight fight. Ex two-time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on December 19th. Fighter's Mentality "I will injure his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, declared. "I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality. "I will really want to injure him. That's my intention." Respectful Interaction Despite such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually known for his theatrics - were respectful and remained civil with each other. Paul instead attacked ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer. Taking Aim at Tyson Fury Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK opponent Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win. "Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented. "I acknowledge that." Legitimate Fighter Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability. "Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated. Paul's Background Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing. He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023. Commercial Success However, the novice is still one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, regularly earning huge paydays. Forecast and Confidence The 28 year old forecast a knockout win in rounds four or five and asserted he would prevent the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly being planned for 2026. "It's going to be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul declared. Size Difference As the two fighters engaged in the customary confrontation, with their physical disparity on show, it highlighted just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is truly proceeding.
