I'll dominate 'credible boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to publicize next month's boxing match.
Ex twice unified boxing king Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I'm going to damage his features and damage his physique. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will really want to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of these statements, a composed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually known for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, targeted British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Still, the novice is still one of the sport's largest money-making draws, regularly earning huge paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would stop the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently in the works for 2026.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Size Difference
As the two fighters participated in the traditional stare-down, with their size difference clearly visible, it emphasized just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the match is truly going ahead.
