🔗 Share this article I'll stamp all over 'legitimate boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-round contest which will be shown in real-time on Netflix. British boxer Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming bout. Ex twice unified title holder Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge disparity - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th. Fighter's Attitude "I plan to damage his features and break his body up. I'm here to prove my superiority," Joshua, 35, said. "I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality. "I'm going to seriously aim to hurt him. That's my intention." Civil Exchange In spite of those words, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - usually recognized for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other. Paul rather targeted former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity. Taking Aim at Fury Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory. "Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated. "I respect him for that." Serious Opponent In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills. "Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated. Jake Paul's History Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional. He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year. Commercial Success Still, the relative newcomer remains one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, frequently receiving huge earnings. Prediction and Belief The 28 year old forecast a KO victory in rounds four or five and claimed he would prevent the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now. "It will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated. Size Difference As both boxers engaged in the traditional stare-down, with their size difference evident, it emphasized just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is truly happening.
