I'll dominate 'legitimate boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-round contest which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the combatants met personally to promote next month's heavyweight fight.
Former two time world boxing king Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I'm going to injure his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will genuinely try to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
In spite of such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - normally known for his dramatics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather criticized former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at UK opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua said.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he said.
Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of the sport's biggest financial successes, frequently receiving massive earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old predicted a knockout win in rounds four or five and stated he would stop the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently in the works for 2026.
"It's going to be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul said.
Size Difference
As both boxers met for the usual face-off, with their physical disparity evident, it highlighted just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the match is really going ahead.
