🔗 Share this article I'll stamp all over 'serious combatant' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-round match which will be streamed live on Netflix. British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to build hype for next month's bout. Former two time world boxing king Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive mismatch - at Miami's arena on December 19th. Boxer's Attitude "I plan to injure his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, said. "I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality. "I intend to genuinely try to injure him. That's my intention." Civil Exchange In spite of those words, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally recognized for his dramatics - were respectful and remained civil with each other. Jake Paul instead targeted former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity. Targeting Fury Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK opponent Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul. "[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented. "I give him credit for that." Serious Opponent Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills. "Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked. Paul's Background Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional. He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023. Financial Success However, the novice continues to be one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, consistently making substantial paydays. Forecast and Confidence The 28-year-old forecast a stoppage in round four or five and asserted he would stop the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now. "It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul said. Size Difference As both boxers engaged in the traditional face-off, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it highlighted just how improbable this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the bout is really proceeding.
