🔗 Share this article I will stamp all over 'credible combatant' Paul - Anthony Joshua The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-round match which will be shown live on the streaming platform. British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" the American as the pair met personally to publicize the upcoming bout. Former twice unified heavyweight champion Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive disparity - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th. Boxer's Mindset "I'm going to damage his features and break his body up. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, said. "I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think. "I will seriously aim to hurt him. That's what I want to do." Respectful Interaction In spite of such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically recognized for his showmanship - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other. Paul instead attacked ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer. Taking Aim at Fury Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK opponent Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul. "[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua said. "I acknowledge that." Legitimate Opponent Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills. "Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked. Paul's History Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly fought MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing. He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023. Commercial Success Nevertheless, the relative newcomer is still one of boxing's biggest commercial attractions, frequently receiving huge paydays. Forecast and Confidence The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in rounds four or five and claimed he would stop the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently under discussion for 2026. "The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul said. Physical Difference As Joshua and Paul engaged in the customary stare-down, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is truly happening.
