🔗 Share this article I'll dominate 'serious boxer' Paul - Joshua The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight round fight which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform. Briton Joshua said he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the two fighters came face-to-face to build hype for the upcoming heavyweight fight. Former two time unified title holder Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December. Fighter's Mentality "I plan to break his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, said. "I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset. "I will genuinely try to cause him pain. That's what I want to do." Respectful Interaction In spite of such comments, a calm Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally recognized for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other. Paul instead targeted former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer. Targeting Fury Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK opponent Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul win. "[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated. "I acknowledge that." Legitimate Opponent In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent. "Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked. Paul's Background Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional. He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year. Financial Success Nevertheless, the relative newcomer is still one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, consistently making massive financial rewards. Prediction and Confidence The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would stop the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026. "It's going to be my match with Fury next year," Paul stated. Size Difference As the two fighters engaged in the traditional stare-down, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it highlighted just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the bout is truly proceeding.
