🔗 Share this article I will overwhelm 'credible fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round fight which will be broadcast live on Netflix. Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the two fighters met personally to publicize next month's bout. Former two time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th. Boxer's Mentality "I will damage his features and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, declared. "I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality. "I'm going to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my goal." Respectful Interaction Despite these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - normally famous for his dramatics - were respectful and remained civil with each other. Paul instead targeted former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal. Targeting Fury Joshua, at the same time, criticized British rival Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a victory for Paul. "[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer said. "I acknowledge that." Serious Fighter Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's fighting skills. "Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated. Paul's Background Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since becoming pro. He lost to Briton Fury in last year. Financial Success Nevertheless, the novice is still one of the sport's largest financial successes, frequently receiving substantial financial rewards. Prediction and Confidence The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in round four or five and stated he would stop the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026. "It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared. Size Disparity As both boxers participated in the customary stare-down, with their height and weight contrast evident, it emphasized just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is really happening.
