Joshua Stirs Controversy with 'Kill' Remark Before Paul
Anthony Joshua, with a 28-4 record and size advantage, vows to decisively beat Jake Paul in their heavyweight bout streaming on Netflix.
- On Dec. 17, 2025, Anthony Joshua told reporters `If I can kill you, I will kill you,` saying he will not hold back in the Dec. 19 bout at Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida against Jake Paul.
- Joshua framed the rhetoric as part of his job, stressing he does not single out Jake Paul and highlighting the size mismatch and Paul moving up in weight.
- Career records underline the mismatch as Anthony Joshua is 28-4 with 25 KOs across 32 fights, while Jake Paul holds a 12-1 record and stands 6-foot-1 to Joshua's 6-foot-6.
- The matchup raises real safety concerns as boxing fans and participants recall several deaths, notably Patrick Day on Oct. 12, 2019, while ET warned Jake Paul he "might want to get his affairs in order"; Joshua has not killed anyone but often knocks opponents out.
- The bout is being carried exclusively on Netflix, allowing Netflix subscribers to watch at no extra cost and boosting attention on Anthony Joshua versus YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul.
