🔗 Share this article I will dominate 'legitimate fighter' Paul - Anthony Joshua The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round fight which will be shown live on Netflix. Briton Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to promote next month's heavyweight fight. Former twice unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami venue on December 19th. Boxer's Attitude "I'm going to damage his features and break his body up. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated. "I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think. "I will genuinely try to hurt him. That's my intention." Respectful Interaction In spite of those words, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically recognized for his dramatics - were respectful and remained civil with each other. Jake Paul instead targeted former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian rejected a fight offer. Targeting Fury Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized British opponent Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul win. "Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented. "I give him credit for that." Legitimate Fighter In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent. "Jake is a legitimate boxer," he remarked. Jake Paul's Background Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional. He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year. Financial Attraction Still, the novice is still one of boxing's largest money-making draws, consistently making substantial earnings. Forecast and Confidence The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in rounds four or five and asserted he would stop the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now. "The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul said. Physical Disparity As Joshua and Paul participated in the traditional confrontation, with their height and weight contrast evident, it emphasized just how improbable this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the bout is really proceeding.
