I'll dominate 'serious boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight round fight which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the pair confronted each other to publicize next month's bout.
Ex two-time world title holder Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I plan to damage his features and break his body up. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will genuinely try to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of those words, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically recognized for his showmanship - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather attacked ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian rejected a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a large bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Still, the novice remains one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, consistently making massive financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would stop the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters met for the traditional face-off, with their height and weight contrast evident, it emphasized just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the match is really going ahead.
