I will dominate 'credible combatant' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the two fighters met personally to promote next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex two time world boxing king Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I will break his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to seriously aim to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
Despite those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized UK rival Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Still, the relative newcomer continues to be one of boxing's greatest commercial attractions, regularly earning massive financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in round four or five and stated he would prevent the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.
"It will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters participated in the usual confrontation, with their size difference evident, it emphasized just how unlikely this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the match is actually proceeding.
