I will dominate 'legitimate combatant' Paul - Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-bout match which will be broadcast live on Netflix.

Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight.

Former twice unified title holder Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive disparity - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.

Fighter's Attitude

"I will break his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.

"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.

"I'm going to seriously aim to injure him. That's my intention."

Respectful Exchange

In spite of such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - usually famous for his theatrics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.

Paul instead targeted former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.

Targeting Tyson Fury

Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British rival Tyson Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory.

"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.

"I give him credit for that."

Serious Opponent

Despite declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills.

"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.

Jake Paul's Background

Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since becoming pro.

He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.

Financial Attraction

Still, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's largest financial successes, consistently making huge earnings.

Forecast and Belief

The 28-year-old predicted a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would stop the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently in the works for two years from now.

"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.

Size Difference

As both boxers engaged in the customary confrontation, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the match is actually happening.
