🔗 Share this article I will overwhelm 'legitimate combatant' Paul - Joshua The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform. British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" the American as the combatants met personally to publicize next month's boxing match. Former two time unified boxing king Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge mismatch - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th. Boxer's Mentality "I plan to injure his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, stated. "I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think. "I'm going to really want to hurt him. That's my goal." Respectful Interaction Despite such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally famous for his theatrics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other. Paul instead criticized ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a fight offer. Targeting Fury Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted British opponent Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory. "Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated. "I give him credit for that." Legitimate Fighter In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills. "Jake is a credible opponent," he stated. Jake Paul's Background Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since entering professional boxing. He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023. Financial Attraction Still, the relative newcomer remains one of boxing's greatest commercial attractions, regularly earning huge paydays. Prediction and Confidence The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in round four or five and claimed he would derail the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now. "The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul said. Size Disparity As both boxers participated in the traditional face-off, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it highlighted just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is truly going ahead.
