I will dominate 'serious boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be streamed live on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex twice world title holder Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge disparity - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I plan to injure his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
In spite of those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - usually known for his dramatics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he showed up," the boxer stated.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, consistently making massive financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in rounds four or five and stated he would stop the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers engaged in the usual face-off, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it emphasized just how improbable this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is really going ahead.
