🔗 Share this article I'll overwhelm 'credible combatant' Jake Paul - Joshua Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-bout match which will be streamed live on Netflix. Briton Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to publicize next month's heavyweight fight. Former two-time unified title holder Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive mismatch - at Miami's venue on 19 December. Fighter's Mindset "I will damage his features and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35, stated. "I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset. "I intend to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's what I want to do." Civil Interaction Despite such comments, a calm Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually recognized for his theatrics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other. Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal. Taking Aim at Fury Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul. "Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented. "I acknowledge that." Serious Fighter In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to talk badly about his rival's boxing ability. "Jake is a serious fighter," he said. Jake Paul's History Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since entering professional boxing. He lost to British fighter Fury in 2023. Financial Success Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, consistently making substantial earnings. Forecast and Confidence The 28 year old forecast a stoppage in rounds four or five and stated he would stop the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently in the works for two years from now. "The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated. Physical Difference As Joshua and Paul met for the customary confrontation, with their size difference evident, it highlighted just how surprising this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the match is really going ahead.
