🔗 Share this article I will overwhelm 'credible boxer' Paul - Joshua The British boxer is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight round fight which will be shown live on Netflix. British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to build hype for the upcoming heavyweight fight. Former two time world boxing king Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami venue on December 19th. Fighter's Attitude "I'm going to damage his features and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, said. "I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset. "I'm going to really want to hurt him. That's what I want to do." Respectful Interaction In spite of these statements, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically famous for his showmanship - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other. Jake Paul instead attacked ex Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian rejected a bout proposal. Taking Aim at Fury Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul. "[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated. "I give him credit for that." Legitimate Opponent Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills. "Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked. Paul's History Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro. He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year. Financial Success Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, regularly earning huge paydays. Forecast and Confidence The 28 year old forecast a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would stop the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly being planned for 2026. "It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated. Size Disparity As the two fighters participated in the traditional stare-down, with their physical disparity evident, it highlighted just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the match is really going ahead.
