Jake Paul has declared his intention to humiliate Anthony Joshua in their upcoming heavyweight battle set for next month.
Recently, reports surfaced that both fighters were finalizing an agreement to face off in December, leaving the boxing world shocked. The anticipated showdown between the two will take place just six days before Christmas, featuring eight rounds lasting three minutes each, with both contenders wearing 10oz gloves. The outcome will impact their professional records, regardless of the result.
Paul’s match against Gervonta Davis was canceled due to allegations against Davis, leading to a pause in Paul’s fights since his victory over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr in June.
Despite criticism from some boxing circles, Paul remains confident in his ability to defeat the two-time heavyweight champion. In a statement on his official YouTube channel, he boldly proclaimed his plans to knock out and embarrass Anthony Joshua during the live event on Netflix.
With opinions pouring in from various personalities in the boxing realm, including rising star Moses Itauma questioning Paul’s decision to accept the challenge, the anticipation for the fight continues to build.
Joshua, aiming to bounce back after a knockout loss to Daniel Dubois in 2024, views this upcoming bout as a stepping stone before his return to the ring in February, eyeing a summer clash with Tyson Fury.
As the fight draws near, both fighters have expressed their determination to succeed, with Paul aiming to silence his critics by defeating Joshua and earning a shot at a world title. Joshua, on the other hand, is focused on delivering a spectacular performance and breaking records.
The clash between Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul is scheduled for December 19 in Miami, with the event expected to air on Netflix. Fight time is estimated around 11pm local time, potentially translating to 4am in the UK, though timings are subject to change based on the undercard duration.
