I'll dominate 'legitimate combatant' Jake Paul - Joshua
The British boxer is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-round fight which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the two fighters met personally to promote next month's boxing match.
Ex two-time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I'm going to break his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will seriously aim to injure him. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
Despite such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally recognized for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, at the same time, criticized UK opponent Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
However, the novice is still one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, consistently making massive earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old predicted a knockout win in round four or five and stated he would stop the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers met for the usual face-off, with their physical disparity on show, it drove home just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is truly going ahead.
