🔗 Share this article I will stamp all over 'credible boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-round contest which will be broadcast live on Netflix. British boxer Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight. Ex twice unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive disparity - at Miami venue on December 19th. Fighter's Mentality "I plan to break his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, stated. "I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think. "I will really want to cause him pain. That's my goal." Respectful Interaction Despite those words, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Paul - usually recognized for his showmanship - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other. Jake Paul rather attacked former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian rejected a fight offer. Targeting Fury Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory. "[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented. "I respect him for that." Legitimate Opponent Despite stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability. "Jake is a credible opponent," he said. Jake Paul's Background Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional. He lost to British fighter Fury in last year. Financial Success Nevertheless, the relative newcomer remains one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, regularly earning massive earnings. Prediction and Belief The 28-year-old predicted a KO victory in round four or five and claimed he would stop the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently under discussion for 2026. "It will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said. Size Disparity As Joshua and Paul participated in the customary confrontation, with their height and weight contrast on show, it drove home just how surprising this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is truly going ahead.
