đź”— Share this article I'll dominate 'legitimate fighter' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round match which will be shown in real-time on Netflix. Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the combatants confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming bout. Former two time unified title holder Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth disparity - at Miami venue on December 19th. Boxer's Mindset "I'm going to injure his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, stated. "I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think. "I intend to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's what I want to do." Civil Interaction Despite those words, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - normally recognized for his showmanship - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other. Paul instead targeted ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity. Taking Aim at Fury Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a ÂŁ1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul. "Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated. "I respect him for that." Legitimate Fighter Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability. "Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked. Paul's History Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro. He lost to Briton Fury in last year. Commercial Success However, the novice remains one of boxing's greatest commercial attractions, frequently receiving massive financial rewards. Forecast and Confidence The 28 year old forecast a KO victory in rounds four or five and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly in the works for 2026. "It will be my match with Fury next year," Paul stated. Physical Difference As the two fighters participated in the usual stare-down, with their height and weight contrast on show, it highlighted just how surprising this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is really proceeding.
