🔗 Share this article I will dominate 'credible boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-round match which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform. Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the pair met personally to publicize next month's bout. Former two-time unified heavyweight champion Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive mismatch - at Miami arena on 19 December. Fighter's Mindset "I'm going to injure his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, said. "I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think. "I intend to really want to injure him. That's what I want to do." Civil Interaction In spite of such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally known for his theatrics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other. Jake Paul instead targeted ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal. Taking Aim at Tyson Fury Joshua, in the meantime, criticized British rival Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul. "Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated. "I give him credit for that." Legitimate Fighter In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability. "Jake is a credible opponent," he said. Jake Paul's Background Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional. He lost to British fighter Fury in 2023. Commercial Attraction Nevertheless, the novice is still one of the sport's largest money-making draws, consistently making massive financial rewards. Prediction and Confidence The 28 year old forecast a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would stop the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly in the works for 2026. "It will be my match with Fury next year," Paul said. Size Disparity As both boxers participated in the traditional confrontation, with their size difference clearly visible, it drove home just how surprising this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the fight is actually happening.
