I'll dominate 'credible boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-bout contest which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.

British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "break" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.

Ex two-time world heavyweight champion Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's venue on December 19th.

Boxer's Mindset

"I plan to break his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35, declared.

"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.

"I intend to genuinely try to injure him. That's my intention."

Respectful Exchange

In spite of these statements, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually known for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.

Jake Paul instead attacked former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian rejected a match opportunity.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British opponent Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win.

"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.

"I respect him for that."

Legitimate Opponent

Despite stating he plans to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's boxing ability.

"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.

Paul's Background

Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.

He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.

Financial Success

Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, consistently making huge paydays.

Forecast and Belief

The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in round four or five and asserted he would prevent the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.

"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.

Physical Difference

As both boxers participated in the traditional face-off, with their size difference evident, it emphasized just how improbable this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the fight is actually proceeding.
