🔗 Share this article I will dominate 'serious fighter' Paul - Anthony Joshua Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-round match which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform. British boxer Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the pair met personally to publicize the upcoming boxing match. Ex two time world title holder Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th. Fighter's Attitude "I plan to injure his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35, said. "I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think. "I intend to seriously aim to injure him. That's my goal." Civil Exchange Despite those words, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically famous for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other. Paul rather targeted former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a bout proposal. Taking Aim at Tyson Fury Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at UK opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul win. "[Paul] is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua said. "I respect him for that." Serious Opponent Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his opponent's pugilistic talent. "Jake is a legitimate boxer," he remarked. Paul's Background Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since entering professional boxing. He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year. Financial Attraction Nevertheless, the novice remains one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, consistently making huge earnings. Forecast and Belief The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in rounds four or five and stated he would prevent the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026. "The next fight will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul said. Physical Difference As Joshua and Paul participated in the traditional face-off, with their height and weight contrast on show, it drove home just how unlikely this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the fight is truly happening.
