Jake Paul has declared his intention to humiliate Anthony Joshua in their upcoming heavyweight clash set for next month. Recent reports revealed that both fighters are in the final stages of negotiating a showdown scheduled for December. The boxing community was taken aback by the announcement that the two will face off just days before Christmas in an eight-round bout wearing 10oz gloves. The outcome of the fight will impact their professional records.
Paul had been gearing up to fight Gervonta Davis, but the event was canceled due to legal issues faced by Davis. The last time Paul fought was in June when he secured a decision victory over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
Despite criticism from the boxing world, Paul remains confident in his ability to defeat the two-time heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua. He boldly stated his intentions to knock out Joshua live on Netflix. With the fight drawing near, various personalities, including rising heavyweight Moses Itauma, have questioned Paul’s decision to take on Joshua.
Both fighters have expressed their determination to succeed in the upcoming match, with Paul emphasizing his desire to silence his doubters. Meanwhile, Joshua sees this fight as a stepping stone before aiming for a showdown with Tyson Fury in the summer.
The highly-anticipated clash between Joshua and Paul is scheduled to take place in Miami on December 19, just ahead of Christmas. The event will be broadcast live on Netflix, with the fight expected to start around 11 pm local time. Fight times may vary depending on the undercard duration and are typically adjusted to suit the American audience.
