🔗 Share this article I'll stamp all over 'legitimate fighter' Paul - Joshua Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight round fight which will be shown live on the streaming platform. Briton Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "break" the American as the pair came face-to-face to build hype for next month's boxing match. Former twice world heavyweight champion Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive disparity - at Miami venue on 19 December. Boxer's Mindset "I plan to injure his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, said. "I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset. "I will seriously aim to injure him. That's my intention." Civil Exchange In spite of those words, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally famous for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other. Paul rather criticized former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer. Taking Aim at Tyson Fury Joshua, at the same time, targeted British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul win. "Jake Paul is better than Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented. "I give him credit for that." Legitimate Opponent Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability. "Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked. Jake Paul's History Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing. He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023. Commercial Attraction Still, the relative newcomer is still one of the sport's biggest commercial attractions, frequently receiving huge paydays. Forecast and Confidence The 28-year-old predicted a KO victory in rounds four or five and asserted he would prevent the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly in the works for 2026. "The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said. Size Difference As the two fighters engaged in the traditional face-off, with their size difference on show, it emphasized just how unlikely this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is actually proceeding.
