🔗 Share this article I'll dominate 'legitimate combatant' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua The British boxer is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-round match which will be broadcast live on Netflix. British boxer Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "break" his opponent as the two fighters confronted each other to publicize next month's bout. Ex two-time world title holder Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth disparity - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th. Fighter's Mentality "I'm going to break his face and break his body up. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, declared. "I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think. "I will seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my goal." Civil Interaction Despite these statements, a composed Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally famous for his theatrics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other. Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a bout proposal. Targeting Tyson Fury Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK rival Tyson Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul. "Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented. "I give him credit for that." Serious Opponent In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to speak negatively about his opponent's fighting skills. "Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated. Paul's Background Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional. He lost to Briton Fury in 2023. Financial Attraction Still, the relative newcomer remains one of boxing's greatest financial successes, frequently receiving substantial financial rewards. Forecast and Belief The 28 year old predicted a KO victory in round four or five and asserted he would derail the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for 2026. "The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul stated. Size Difference As the two fighters participated in the traditional confrontation, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it drove home just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is really proceeding.
