Jake Paul has declared his intention to humiliate Anthony Joshua in their upcoming heavyweight clash next month.
Recent reports revealed that both fighters were finalizing a deal to face off in December, just days before Christmas, leaving the boxing community surprised. The bout will consist of eight three-minute rounds with both competitors wearing 10oz gloves, and the outcome will impact their professional records.
Paul was initially set to fight Gervonta Davis, but the event was canceled due to allegations against Davis. Paul’s last fight was a decision victory over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr in June.
Despite criticism from some in the boxing world, Paul remains confident in his ability to defeat the two-time heavyweight champion. He boldly stated his intentions on his YouTube channel, expressing his determination to knock out Joshua during the live fight.
As the fight approaches, various personalities, including rising heavyweight Moses Itauma, have shared their opinions on the matchup. Itauma questioned Paul’s decision to accept the fight, emphasizing the importance of considering the consequences.
Both Paul and Joshua have expressed their readiness for the showdown, with Joshua using this bout as preparation for future fights, including a potential match with Tyson Fury.
The highly-anticipated event is scheduled to take place in Miami on December 19, airing live on Netflix. The fight is expected to draw significant attention and viewership, with both fighters eager to make a statement in the ring.
