Anthony Joshua says he will 'break internet over Jake Paul's face' ahead of mega fight

Anthony Joshua has said that he won’t be holding back in his showdown with Jake Paul.

The pair are set to meet on December 19, at Miami’s Kaseya Center, in a bout classified as a full professional fight not an exhibition so the result will count on their official records and a knockout is very much on the table.

Still, the contest differs from typical men’s main events: it is slated for eight three-minute rounds, and Joshua will have a weight limit of 245lb.

Both fighters will also use 10oz gloves instead of the larger, more cushioned varieties often seen in exhibition bouts.

"I took some time out and I’m coming back with a mega show. It’s a big opportunity for me. Whether you like it or not, I’m here to do massive numbers, have big fights and break every record while keeping cool, calm and collected," he said.

“Mark my words, you’ll see a lot more fighters take these opportunities in the future. I’m about to break the internet over Jake Paul’s face.”
