🔗 Share this article I will stamp all over 'legitimate boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight round fight which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform. British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the pair met personally to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight. Ex twice unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge mismatch - at Miami's venue on 19 December. Fighter's Attitude "I'm going to damage his features and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35, said. "I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think. "I'm going to really want to cause him pain. That's what I want to do." Civil Interaction Despite such comments, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other. Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a match opportunity. Targeting Fury Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British opponent Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul. "Jake Paul outshines Fury - he showed up," the boxer stated. "I respect him for that." Serious Fighter In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills. "Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he said. Jake Paul's History Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since becoming pro. He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023. Financial Success Still, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's greatest commercial attractions, regularly earning massive paydays. Forecast and Confidence The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would derail the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently under discussion for 2026. "The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared. Size Disparity As the two fighters engaged in the traditional face-off, with their physical disparity on show, it emphasized just how surprising this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is truly happening.
