🔗 Share this article I'll dominate 'serious combatant' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua The British boxer is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-bout match which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform. Briton Joshua said he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight. Ex two-time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's arena on 19 December. Boxer's Mentality "I'm going to break his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35, stated. "I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think. "I intend to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my intention." Civil Interaction In spite of those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically famous for his showmanship - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other. Paul instead criticized ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a bout proposal. Targeting Fury Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized British rival Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul. "Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's present here," the boxer said. "I acknowledge that." Serious Opponent Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability. "Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked. Jake Paul's Background Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily fought MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional. He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023. Commercial Success Still, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, frequently receiving massive earnings. Prediction and Confidence The 28-year-old forecast a knockout win in rounds four or five and stated he would stop the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now. "It's going to be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul declared. Size Disparity As the two fighters engaged in the usual stare-down, with their size difference clearly visible, it drove home just how surprising this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is really happening.
