I will dominate 'credible boxer' Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.

British boxer Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" the American and "break" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to publicize next month's bout.

Ex two-time unified title holder Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on 19 December.

Boxer's Attitude

"I plan to break his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, stated.

"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.

"I will really want to injure him. That's what I want to do."

Civil Interaction

Despite these statements, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - normally recognized for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.

Jake Paul rather targeted ex Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.

Taking Aim at Fury

Joshua, in the meantime, targeted British rival Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.

"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer commented.

"I respect him for that."

Serious Opponent

In spite of saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's pugilistic talent.

"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he said.

Jake Paul's History

Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since becoming pro.

He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.

Financial Success

However, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's largest financial successes, regularly earning huge paydays.

Prediction and Belief

The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in rounds four or five and stated he would derail the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.

"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.

Size Disparity

As Joshua and Paul engaged in the customary face-off, with their physical disparity evident, it emphasized just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the bout is really proceeding.
