🔗 Share this article I will stamp all over 'credible boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-round contest which will be shown live on Netflix. Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the combatants met personally to publicize next month's bout. Ex two time world heavyweight champion Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge mismatch - at Miami's arena on December 19th. Fighter's Attitude "I will damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35, declared. "I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think. "I will genuinely try to hurt him. That's what I want to do." Respectful Exchange Despite those words, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally recognized for his showmanship - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other. Paul rather targeted ex Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal. Targeting Tyson Fury Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK opponent Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory. "Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated. "I give him credit for that." Legitimate Fighter In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent. "Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated. Jake Paul's History Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional. He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in 2023. Financial Success Still, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, consistently making massive financial rewards. Prediction and Confidence The 28 year old forecast a stoppage in round four or five and claimed he would derail the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now. "The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared. Size Disparity As Joshua and Paul engaged in the usual stare-down, with their size difference on show, it drove home just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the bout is truly proceeding.
