🔗 Share this article I'll dominate 'legitimate combatant' Jake Paul - Joshua Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix. British boxer Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" the American as the combatants came face-to-face to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight. Former two time unified title holder Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive mismatch - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th. Fighter's Mindset "I will injure his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, declared. "I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think. "I'm going to really want to injure him. That's my goal." Respectful Exchange Despite these statements, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically recognized for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other. Jake Paul instead targeted former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer. Taking Aim at Tyson Fury Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at UK rival Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a victory for Paul. "Jake Paul is better than Fury - he showed up," the boxer stated. "I give him credit for that." Legitimate Opponent In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills. "Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked. Paul's History Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing. He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year. Financial Success Nevertheless, the relative newcomer remains one of boxing's largest financial successes, frequently receiving huge earnings. Forecast and Belief The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in round four or five and asserted he would stop the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now. "The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said. Physical Disparity As the two fighters met for the traditional stare-down, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how unlikely this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the match is really happening.
