🔗 Share this article I will overwhelm 'credible combatant' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be shown in real-time on Netflix. Briton Joshua said he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the pair met personally to build hype for the upcoming heavyweight fight. Ex two time world title holder Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami's arena on December 19th. Fighter's Attitude "I plan to break his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, said. "I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset. "I intend to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my intention." Civil Exchange In spite of such comments, a calm Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically recognized for his dramatics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other. Jake Paul instead criticized former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer. Targeting Fury Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British rival Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory. "Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua said. "I give him credit for that." Legitimate Opponent In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's boxing ability. "Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated. Jake Paul's Background Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since becoming pro. He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year. Commercial Attraction Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's largest money-making draws, regularly earning massive paydays. Prediction and Confidence The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in round four or five and stated he would derail the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently in the works for two years from now. "It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul said. Physical Difference As Joshua and Paul participated in the usual face-off, with their size difference clearly visible, it drove home just how improbable this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is truly proceeding.
