🔗 Share this article I will stamp all over 'serious boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform. Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to promote the upcoming boxing match. Ex two-time world boxing king Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's arena on December 19th. Fighter's Mentality "I'm going to injure his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, stated. "I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset. "I intend to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my intention." Respectful Exchange Despite such comments, a calm Joshua and social media star Paul - normally recognized for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other. Paul instead criticized ex Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity. Taking Aim at Fury Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win. "[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer said. "I acknowledge that." Serious Fighter Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills. "Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked. Jake Paul's Background Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional. He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.

"It will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul stated. Physical Difference As the two fighters engaged in the customary confrontation, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it drove home just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the match is actually proceeding.
