I'll dominate 'serious boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the pair came face-to-face to promote the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex two-time unified title holder Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive disparity - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I will injure his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will genuinely try to injure him. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
Despite those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually famous for his showmanship - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he's present here," the boxer said.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Still, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's greatest financial successes, frequently receiving substantial paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for 2026.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.
Physical Difference
As both boxers engaged in the traditional confrontation, with their size difference clearly visible, it drove home just how surprising this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the match is actually happening.
