I will dominate 'serious boxer' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight round match which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to promote next month's boxing match.
Former twice unified boxing king Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge mismatch - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I plan to injure his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to seriously aim to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Exchange
In spite of those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Still, the novice remains one of boxing's greatest commercial attractions, regularly earning huge paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old predicted a stoppage in rounds four or five and stated he would prevent the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly in the works for 2026.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters participated in the traditional stare-down, with their physical disparity evident, it highlighted just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the match is truly going ahead.
