🔗 Share this article I will stamp all over 'legitimate boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-round fight which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform. British boxer Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight. Former twice unified boxing king Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December. Boxer's Mindset "I plan to injure his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared. "I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset. "I'm going to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my intention." Respectful Exchange In spite of such comments, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - usually famous for his dramatics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other. Paul rather criticized former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity. Taking Aim at Tyson Fury Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British rival Tyson Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory. "Jake Paul outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated. "I respect him for that." Serious Fighter Despite saying he intends to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills. "Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he said. Jake Paul's Background Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing. He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year. Commercial Attraction Still, the novice remains one of boxing's biggest financial successes, consistently making massive paydays. Forecast and Belief The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would stop the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now. "It will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared. Size Difference As the two fighters participated in the usual confrontation, with their size difference clearly visible, it highlighted just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is really proceeding.
