I will dominate 'credible boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-round match which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.

British boxer Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "break" the American as the pair came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming bout.

Former two time world title holder Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.

Fighter's Mindset

"I'm going to break his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.

"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.

"I'm going to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my goal."

Civil Exchange

In spite of these statements, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually recognized for his theatrics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.

Jake Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.

Targeting Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.

"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer commented.

"I acknowledge that."

Serious Opponent

In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.

"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.

Paul's Background

Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since entering professional boxing.

He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.

Financial Attraction

However, the novice continues to be one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, consistently making massive financial rewards.

Forecast and Confidence

The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would stop the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.

"The next fight will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.

Physical Disparity

As the two fighters met for the customary confrontation, with their physical disparity on show, it highlighted just how improbable this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is really happening.
