Jake Paul has declared his intention to humiliate Anthony Joshua in their upcoming heavyweight bout next month. The news of the potential showdown between the two fighters in December took the boxing world by surprise. The match, scheduled just before Christmas, will consist of eight rounds with both fighters wearing 10oz gloves, impacting their professional records.
Paul’s planned fight against Gervonta Davis was canceled due to legal issues faced by his opponent. Despite not having fought since his victory over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr in June, Paul remains confident in his abilities to defeat the two-time heavyweight champion Joshua.
Various figures within the boxing community have criticized the event, with rising heavyweight Moses Itauma questioning Paul’s decision to accept the challenge. However, Paul remains determined to silence his critics and emerge victorious in the fight.
On the other hand, Joshua views this bout as a warm-up before his return to the ring in February and eventual pursuit of a match against Tyson Fury. The clash between Paul and Joshua is set to take place in Miami on December 19, with the event expected to be broadcast live on Netflix.
