I'll dominate 'serious boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua
The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight round match which will be streamed live on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the pair came face-to-face to build hype for next month's boxing match.
Ex two time unified title holder Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Mentality
"I plan to break his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will really want to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
In spite of those words, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually famous for his theatrics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather criticized former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and called him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he's present here," the boxer said.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer remains one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, consistently making massive earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in round four or five and claimed he would derail the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly in the works for 2026.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As both boxers participated in the usual confrontation, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how unlikely this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the match is actually going ahead.
