🔗 Share this article I will dominate 'serious fighter' Paul - Joshua The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-round match which will be shown live on Netflix. British boxer Joshua said he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to promote next month's boxing match. Ex two time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on December 19th. Boxer's Mentality "I will injure his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, said. "I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality. "I will seriously aim to hurt him. That's my intention." Respectful Exchange Despite those words, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally recognized for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other. Jake Paul rather attacked ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou declined a fight offer. Taking Aim at Tyson Fury Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK opponent Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul. "[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer commented. "I acknowledge that." Legitimate Fighter In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills. "Jake is a credible opponent," he said. Paul's History Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional. He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023. Financial Success However, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's biggest financial successes, frequently receiving huge paydays. Prediction and Confidence The 28 year old forecast a KO victory in rounds four or five and stated he would stop the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently under discussion for two years from now. "The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared. Physical Disparity As both boxers engaged in the customary stare-down, with their size difference on show, it drove home just how improbable this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the fight is truly going ahead.
