I'll dominate 'credible boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight round match which will be streamed live on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the pair confronted each other to promote the upcoming bout.
Former two time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive mismatch - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I plan to injure his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to really want to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of these statements, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - normally recognized for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead attacked ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK opponent Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Still, the novice is still one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, consistently making huge paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would derail the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Difference
As the two fighters met for the customary stare-down, with their size difference clearly visible, it highlighted just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the match is truly going ahead.
