I'll overwhelm 'credible fighter' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout contest which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to publicize the upcoming bout.
Ex twice world title holder Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I'm going to break his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to seriously aim to injure him. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
Despite such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - typically recognized for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead targeted ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British rival Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer commented.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he said.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
However, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, regularly earning substantial financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in rounds four or five and stated he would derail the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As both boxers met for the customary face-off, with their size difference evident, it drove home just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is truly proceeding.
