đź”— Share this article I'll dominate 'legitimate boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-round fight which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform. British boxer Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "break" the American as the pair met personally to build hype for the upcoming bout. Ex two-time world boxing king Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th. Boxer's Mindset "I will damage his features and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, said. "I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality. "I will seriously aim to cause him pain. That's what I want to do." Respectful Interaction Despite these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually recognized for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other. Paul instead attacked former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer. Targeting Tyson Fury Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK rival Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win. "Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's present here," the boxer said. "I respect him for that." Serious Opponent Despite declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability. "Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated. Jake Paul's Background Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mostly fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro. He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023. Financial Success However, the novice remains one of the sport's biggest commercial attractions, consistently making substantial paydays. Forecast and Confidence The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in round four or five and claimed he would prevent the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently under discussion for 2026. "It will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated. Physical Difference As both boxers participated in the traditional face-off, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it highlighted just how surprising this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the bout is truly proceeding.
