🔗 Share this article I'll dominate 'serious fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be shown live on the streaming platform. British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the pair came face-to-face to publicize next month's boxing match. Former two time world boxing king Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th. Boxer's Attitude "I plan to injure his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, declared. "I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality. "I intend to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's what I want to do." Respectful Interaction In spite of those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically known for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other. Paul instead attacked former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a match opportunity. Targeting Tyson Fury Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized British rival Tyson Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul. "[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer said. "I give him credit for that." Legitimate Fighter Despite declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent. "Jake is a serious fighter," he said. Jake Paul's Background Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional. He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year. Financial Success Still, the novice remains one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, regularly earning massive financial rewards. Forecast and Belief The 28-year-old predicted a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would stop the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026. "It will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared. Physical Disparity As the two fighters engaged in the traditional stare-down, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it emphasized just how unlikely this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the fight is really going ahead.
