🔗 Share this article I will dominate 'legitimate combatant' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round match which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix. British boxer Joshua said he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the pair met personally to build hype for the upcoming boxing match. Former two-time unified boxing king Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's arena on December 19th. Fighter's Attitude "I'm going to damage his features and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35, said. "I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset. "I will seriously aim to hurt him. That's my goal." Respectful Interaction Despite these statements, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - usually famous for his theatrics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other. Jake Paul instead targeted ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a match opportunity. Targeting Fury Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted UK opponent Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory. "Jake Paul outshines Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated. "I give him credit for that." Serious Fighter Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent. "Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he said. Paul's Background Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro. He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year. Financial Success Still, the novice continues to be one of the sport's greatest financial successes, frequently receiving substantial financial rewards. Prediction and Confidence The 28-year-old forecast a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would derail the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently in the works for 2026. "The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared. Physical Disparity As both boxers met for the customary face-off, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it emphasized just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is actually going ahead.
