Jake Paul has declared his intention to humiliate Anthony Joshua in their upcoming heavyweight clash next month. The boxing world was taken by surprise when it was confirmed that the two fighters would face off just before Christmas in an eight-round bout, each wearing 10oz gloves. The outcome of the fight will impact their professional records.
Paul had to cancel his fight against Gervonta Davis due to legal issues faced by Davis. 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.
While some in the boxing community have criticized the event, Paul is determined to silence his critics by defeating Joshua. On the other hand, Joshua sees this fight as a warm-up before his planned return to the ring in February and a potential summer showdown with Tyson Fury.
As the fight date approaches, various personalities, including rising heavyweight Moses Itauma, have shared their thoughts on the matchup. Itauma questioned Paul’s decision to accept the fight but acknowledged his positive impact on boxing. Paul, undeterred by the criticism, is focused on proving his doubters wrong and securing a shot at a world title.
Both fighters are gearing up for a high-stakes showdown in Miami on December 19, just days before Christmas. The fight is scheduled to be broadcast live on Netflix, with the ring walk expected around 11pm local time. The event timing may vary based on the undercard duration and is aimed at catering to the American audience.
