๐ Share this article I will stamp all over 'credible combatant' Jake Paul - Joshua The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be shown in real-time on Netflix. British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters met personally to build hype for next month's bout. Ex twice world boxing king Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th. Fighter's Mentality "I plan to damage his features and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated. "I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset. "I will genuinely try to cause him pain. That's what I want to do." Civil Interaction Despite these statements, a calm Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally famous for his showmanship - were respectful and remained civil with each other. Jake Paul instead criticized former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity. Targeting Fury Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK rival Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul. "Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer commented. "I acknowledge that." Legitimate Opponent In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua declined to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent. "Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated. Paul's History Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional. He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023. Commercial Attraction Still, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, frequently receiving massive earnings. Forecast and Confidence The 28 year old forecast a knockout win in round four or five and claimed he would prevent the long-awaited JoshuaโFury fight, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now. "The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Paul declared. Physical Disparity As both boxers engaged in the usual stare-down, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it highlighted just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the fight is truly going ahead.
