🔗 Share this article I'll stamp all over 'legitimate combatant' Paul - Joshua The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-round contest which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform. British boxer Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" the American as the pair met personally to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight. Ex twice unified boxing king Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive disparity - at Miami arena on 19 December. Boxer's Attitude "I plan to injure his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated. "I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset. "I intend to seriously aim to injure him. That's my goal." Respectful Interaction Despite those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - usually known for his showmanship - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other. Paul rather targeted ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer. Taking Aim at Fury Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK rival Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win. "Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer commented. "I respect him for that." Legitimate Opponent In spite of stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills. "Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked. Jake Paul's Background Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since entering professional boxing. He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year. Commercial Attraction However, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's greatest financial successes, regularly earning substantial financial rewards. Forecast and Belief The 28-year-old predicted a knockout win in rounds four or five and claimed he would prevent the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly being planned for 2026. "It will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated. Physical Disparity As both boxers met for the customary stare-down, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it highlighted just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is really going ahead.
