🔗 Share this article I'll overwhelm 'serious boxer' Paul - Joshua The British boxer is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight round fight which will be streamed live on Netflix. Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the two fighters met personally to build hype for the upcoming bout. Former two time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive mismatch - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December. Boxer's Attitude "I plan to break his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, said. "I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset. "I intend to really want to injure him. That's my intention." Respectful Interaction Despite these statements, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally famous for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other. Jake Paul instead targeted ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after the Cameroonian rejected a fight offer. Targeting Fury Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul victory. "Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said. "I acknowledge that." Legitimate Fighter In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent. "Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated. Paul's History Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing. He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023. Financial Success Still, the novice is still one of boxing's largest money-making draws, consistently making huge earnings. Forecast and Belief The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would derail the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now. "It's going to be my match with Fury next year," Paul said. Size Difference As both boxers met for the customary confrontation, with their size difference on show, it drove home just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is actually proceeding.
