I'll overwhelm 'legitimate boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight round contest which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.

Briton Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to publicize the upcoming boxing match.

Ex twice world title holder Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth disparity - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.

Fighter's Mindset

"I plan to damage his features and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, said.

"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.

"I'm going to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my intention."

Civil Interaction

Despite those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually famous for his showmanship - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.

Paul instead criticized former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.

Targeting Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK opponent Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.

"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's present here," the boxer said.

"I give him credit for that."

Legitimate Fighter

In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.

"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.

Jake Paul's Background

Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.

He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.

Financial Success

Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's greatest financial successes, regularly earning huge earnings.

Forecast and Confidence

The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would derail the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently being planned for 2026.

"The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Paul stated.

Physical Disparity

As the two fighters engaged in the usual face-off, with their size difference clearly visible, it emphasized just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is actually happening.
