🔗 Share this article I'll overwhelm 'credible combatant' Paul - Joshua Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be streamed live on the streaming platform. British boxer Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" the American as the combatants met personally to publicize next month's heavyweight fight. Former two-time unified title holder Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive disparity - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th. Boxer's Mentality "I will break 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 how fighters think. "I intend to genuinely try to injure him. That's what I want to do." Civil Exchange In spite of these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other. Jake Paul rather targeted former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian rejected a fight offer. Targeting Tyson Fury Joshua, at the same time, criticized British opponent Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul victory. "Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated. "I give him credit for that." Serious Opponent Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability. "Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he said. Paul's Background Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional. He lost to Briton Fury in 2023. Financial Success However, the relative newcomer is still one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, frequently receiving massive financial rewards. Prediction and Belief The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in rounds four or five and asserted he would prevent the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now. "The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated. Size Disparity As the two fighters met for the customary stare-down, with their height and weight contrast evident, it emphasized just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is truly proceeding.
