I'll dominate 'legitimate boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" the American as the combatants met personally to build hype for next month's bout.
Ex two time unified boxing king Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge disparity - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I plan to damage his features and break his body up. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will really want to injure him. That's my goal."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of such comments, a composed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically recognized for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK rival Tyson Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional.
He lost to British fighter Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Still, the novice remains one of the sport's largest money-making draws, regularly earning huge paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would stop the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Disparity
As the two fighters participated in the traditional stare-down, with their size difference on show, it drove home just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the bout is actually happening.
