🔗 Share this article I'll overwhelm 'legitimate boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round fight which will be streamed live on the streaming platform. British boxer Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to promote next month's bout. Former two time world heavyweight champion Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive disparity - at Miami venue on 19 December. Fighter's Mentality "I'm going to damage his features and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, said. "I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality. "I will genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my goal." Civil Interaction In spite of such comments, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Paul - typically famous for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other. Paul instead criticized former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer. Targeting Fury Joshua, meanwhile, targeted UK rival Tyson Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a victory for Paul. "Jake Paul outshines Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented. "I acknowledge that." Legitimate Opponent Despite stating he plans to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent. "Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked. Jake Paul's History Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing. He lost to Briton Fury in 2023. Financial Success However, the novice is still one of the sport's largest commercial attractions, consistently making huge financial rewards. Forecast and Confidence The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in rounds four or five and asserted he would derail the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026. "It will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said. Physical Difference As both boxers met for the traditional stare-down, with their size difference evident, it drove home just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is actually going ahead.
