🔗 Share this article I will dominate 'legitimate boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-round match which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix. British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American 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 Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December. Fighter's Mindset "I will injure his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35, stated. "I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think. "I intend to really want to cause him pain. That's my intention." Respectful Exchange In spite of these statements, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically famous for his showmanship - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other. Paul rather criticized former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a bout proposal. Taking Aim at Tyson Fury Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British opponent Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul. "Jake Paul outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented. "I give him credit for that." Serious Opponent Despite saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills. "Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he remarked. Paul's Background Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro. He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023. Financial Success Still, the relative newcomer is still one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, regularly earning huge earnings. Prediction and Confidence The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in rounds four or five and stated he would stop the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently being planned for 2026. "The next fight will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul said. Size Disparity As Joshua and Paul met for the traditional confrontation, with their size difference on show, it drove home just how improbable this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the match is really going ahead.
