đź”— Share this article I will dominate 'serious combatant' Paul - Joshua Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-round contest which will be streamed live on the streaming platform. Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "break" the American as the two fighters met personally to build hype for next month's boxing match. Former two time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth disparity - at Miami's arena on December 19th. Boxer's Mentality "I'm going to injure his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, said. "I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset. "I'm going to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my intention." Respectful Exchange Despite such comments, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically known for his showmanship - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other. Jake Paul instead attacked former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity. Taking Aim at Tyson Fury Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British opponent Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul. "[Paul] is superior to Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated. "I respect him for that." Legitimate Fighter In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability. "Jake is a legitimate boxer," he remarked. Paul's Background Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional. He lost to British fighter Fury in 2023. Commercial Attraction Still, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, regularly earning substantial earnings. Prediction and Confidence The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in rounds four or five and asserted he would stop the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently being planned for two years from now. "The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Paul said. Physical Difference As the two fighters participated in the usual face-off, with their size difference evident, it drove home just how surprising this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the match is truly happening.
