🔗 Share this article I'll overwhelm 'serious boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua The British boxer is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-round match which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform. Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the pair met personally to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight. Ex two-time unified boxing king Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December. Boxer's Attitude "I'm going to injure his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, stated. "I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality. "I will seriously aim to injure him. That's my intention." Respectful Exchange Despite such comments, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually famous for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other. Jake Paul rather targeted ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal. Taking Aim at Fury Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British rival Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul. "Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua said. "I acknowledge that." Serious Fighter In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability. "Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated. Jake Paul's History Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro. He lost to British fighter Fury in last year. Commercial Attraction Still, the novice remains one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, regularly earning massive paydays. Forecast and Confidence The 28-year-old predicted a KO victory in round four or five and claimed he would stop the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly being planned for 2026. "It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared. Physical Difference As the two fighters engaged in the customary stare-down, with their physical disparity on show, it drove home just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the match is actually going ahead.
