🔗 Share this article I will dominate 'serious fighter' Paul - Joshua Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight round contest which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform. Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the two fighters met personally to build hype for next month's boxing match. Ex twice world title holder Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami arena on 19 December. Boxer's Mindset "I'm going to damage his features and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, declared. "I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality. "I will genuinely try to injure him. That's what I want to do." Civil Exchange In spite of such comments, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally recognized for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other. Jake Paul rather attacked former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a match opportunity. Taking Aim at Fury Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory. "[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated. "I give him credit for that." Serious Fighter Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent. "Jake is a legitimate boxer," he said. Paul's History Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro. He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023. Commercial Success Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of the sport's largest commercial attractions, regularly earning massive financial rewards. Prediction and Belief The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in round four or five and stated he would derail the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now. "The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul said. Physical Difference As both boxers met for the customary face-off, with their size difference clearly visible, it highlighted just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is truly proceeding.
