YouTube sensation Jake Paul has boldly predicted a knockout victory over former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua in their upcoming December 19 clash in Miami. Paul also set his sights on a potential showdown with Tyson Fury in 2026.
The eight-round contest, sanctioned and highly anticipated, will see the social media star facing off against the seasoned boxer. Paul, known for his brash confidence, asserted his strategy during the pair's first press conference. "All that power is great, but I just have to avoid that one shot for eight rounds—and I believe I can do that," Paul stated.
Paul went on to challenge Tyson Fury, declaring, "It's going to be me vs. Tyson Fury next year." He added, "It's a massive mistake to look past me. I'm putting a stop to all those plans." The YouTuber-turned-boxer also vowed to overthrow promoter Eddie Hearn at the helm of Matchroom Boxing, comparing his potential impact to Andy Ruiz's upset victory.
Meanwhile, Anthony Joshua, who has not fought since his devastating loss to Daniel Dubois in September 2024, has joined forces with Team Usyk to prepare for the upcoming bout. Joshua confirmed that he had not sparred with reigning world champion Oleksandr Usyk but praised the team's expertise and the challenging training experience.
Joshua remained focused and determined, stating, "Jake is a serious fighter. You cannot underestimate anyone. I need to cut him up, break him up, and hurt him." The former champion is eager to prove himself in the ring once again.
The fight, scheduled for December 19 in Miami, promises to be an electric event, pitting the unorthodox style of Jake Paul against the technical prowess of Anthony Joshua. Fans eagerly await the outcome and the potential ripple effects on the boxing world.
