🔗 Share this article I will dominate 'serious boxer' Paul - Joshua The British boxer is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-round fight which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform. British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" the American as the two fighters met personally to publicize the upcoming bout. Ex two time world heavyweight champion Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's arena on 19 December. Boxer's Mindset "I'm going to injure his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, stated. "I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality. "I will seriously aim to hurt him. That's my goal." Respectful Interaction Despite these statements, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually known for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other. Jake Paul instead targeted former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian turned down a fight offer. Targeting Fury Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British rival Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul. "[Paul] is superior to Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented. "I acknowledge that." Serious Opponent Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills. "Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked. Paul's History Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional. He lost to Briton Fury in 2023. Financial Attraction Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's biggest financial successes, consistently making huge financial rewards. Forecast and Belief The 28-year-old predicted a stoppage in rounds four or five and claimed he would stop the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now. "It will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated. Size Disparity As Joshua and Paul participated in the customary stare-down, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it drove home just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the bout is really proceeding.
