I'll dominate 'legitimate boxer' Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight round match which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.

British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the two fighters met personally to promote next month's bout.

Former two time unified heavyweight champion Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's arena on December 19th.

Boxer's Attitude

"I will damage his features and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, said.

"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.

"I will genuinely try to hurt him. That's my intention."

Civil Exchange

Despite such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally famous for his theatrics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.

Jake Paul rather attacked former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul.

"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.

"I respect him for that."

Legitimate Fighter

Despite stating he plans to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.

"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.

Jake Paul's Background

Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.

He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.

Commercial Attraction

Nevertheless, the relative newcomer remains one of boxing's largest financial successes, consistently making substantial paydays.

Forecast and Confidence

The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in rounds four or five and claimed he would stop the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently in the works for 2026.

"It will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.

Physical Disparity

As the two fighters engaged in the traditional confrontation, with their height and weight contrast on show, it highlighted just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the match is really happening.
