🔗 Share this article I will stamp all over 'legitimate boxer' Paul - Joshua The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight round contest which will be shown live on the streaming platform. Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" the American as the two fighters met personally to build hype for next month's boxing match. Former two-time world boxing king Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge mismatch - at Miami's arena on 19 December. Fighter's Attitude "I'm going to break his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, declared. "I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think. "I will seriously aim to hurt him. That's what I want to do." Respectful Interaction Despite those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - normally recognized for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other. Paul rather attacked former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after Ngannou declined a fight offer. Taking Aim at Fury Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at UK opponent Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul. "[Paul] outshines Fury - he showed up," the boxer said. "I acknowledge that." Legitimate Fighter In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent. "Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked. Paul's History Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional. He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023. Commercial Attraction However, the relative newcomer is still one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, consistently making substantial paydays. Forecast and Belief The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in rounds four or five and asserted he would prevent the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently in the works for 2026. "The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said. Physical Disparity As the two fighters engaged in the traditional face-off, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it highlighted just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the match is really going ahead.
