Joshua, Paul Promise Knockouts Ahead £100m Miami Fight

Two-time world champion Anthony Joshua and YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul have promised knockouts in their highly anticipated £100 million eight-round heavyweight bout set for December 19 at Miami’s Kaseya Centre, streamed live on Netflix. Joshua, returning after a knockout loss to Daniel Dubois, fiercely declared he’ll “break” Paul’s face and body, stomping all over him. The 6’6" Joshua must weigh in under 245 pounds, while Paul, much smaller at 6’1", expects to enter at 215–225 pounds. Paul, with a 12-1 record, called Joshua one of the best heavyweights ever and said he’s willing to “die in the ring” to win, promising to avoid Joshua’s power for eight rounds.

Joshua is now training with Oleksandr Usyk’s team, having split from his former coach. […]

Paul Backs His ‘Delusional Optimism’ to Upset Anthony Joshua

Jake Paul, YouTube star and boxer, has boldly declared that his “delusional optimism” will help him upset British former world champion Anthony Joshua in their upcoming bout in Miami next month. Paul, 28, who previously defeated a much older Mike Tyson in a controversial 2024 bout, will face the 36-year-old Joshua—significantly taller, heavier, and more experienced—in an eight-round contest. The fight, set for December 19, has raised widespread safety concerns with the British Boxing Board of Control refusing to sanction it, and former champion David Haye warning it could be Paul’s “last day on earth.” Paul, with 12 wins and one loss, insists his self-belief sets him apart and challenged doubters to “be ready to be shocked.” Anthony Joshua stated he will show Paul “respect” but is “going to break his face,” promising to prove superior in the ring.
