🔗 Share this article I will overwhelm 'credible combatant' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight round fight which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform. Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming boxing match. Ex two time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th. Boxer's Mentality "I plan to break his face and break his body up. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35, stated. "I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think. "I'm going to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's what I want to do." Respectful Interaction In spite of these statements, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally famous for his dramatics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other. Paul instead attacked former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian turned down a fight offer. Taking Aim at Fury Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK rival Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory. "Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented. "I respect him for that." Legitimate Fighter In spite of stating he plans to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills. "Jake is a credible opponent," he said. Jake Paul's Background Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or faded names since becoming pro. He lost to Briton Fury in last year. Commercial Success Still, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's biggest commercial attractions, regularly earning substantial financial rewards. Forecast and Belief The 28 year old forecast a KO victory in round four or five and claimed he would prevent the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly in the works for 2026. "It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said. Size Disparity As the two fighters met for the customary confrontation, with their size difference clearly visible, it emphasized just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is really happening.
