🔗 Share this article I will stamp all over 'legitimate combatant' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight round fight which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix. British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the two fighters met personally to publicize the upcoming boxing match. Former two-time unified title holder Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge mismatch - at Miami's venue on 19 December. Boxer's Mindset "I plan to injure his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, said. "I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality. "I will really want to cause him pain. That's what I want to do." Respectful Exchange Despite such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically recognized for his showmanship - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other. Jake Paul instead criticized former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian rejected a match opportunity. Taking Aim at Tyson Fury Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul win. "Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated. "I give him credit for that." Serious Opponent Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability. "Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he said. Paul's Background Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro. He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023. Commercial Attraction Nevertheless, the novice is still one of the sport's largest money-making draws, frequently receiving huge earnings. Forecast and Confidence The 28 year old predicted a KO victory in round four or five and claimed he would derail the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026. "It will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared. Size Difference As the two fighters engaged in the usual confrontation, with their size difference clearly visible, it highlighted just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is truly happening.
