Ex two time unified title holder Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge mismatch - at Miami's venue on December 19th. Fighter's Mentality "I will damage his features and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, said. "I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality. "I'm going to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my intention." Civil Interaction In spite of those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other. Paul rather criticized ex Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer. Taking Aim at Tyson Fury Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at UK rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul victory. "Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated. "I acknowledge that."
