I'll dominate 'credible combatant' Jake Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-bout contest which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.

Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters met personally to promote next month's bout.

Ex twice world boxing king Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on December 19th.

Fighter's Mentality

"I will break his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35, said.

"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.

"I'm going to seriously aim to injure him. That's what I want to do."

Civil Interaction

Despite such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - normally recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.

Paul rather criticized former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.

Taking Aim at Fury

Joshua, at the same time, criticized British opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.

"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated.

"I give him credit for that."

Legitimate Fighter

Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability.

"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.

Jake Paul's Background

Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.

He lost to Briton Fury in last year.

Commercial Attraction

Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, frequently receiving huge paydays.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28 year old forecast a KO victory in round four or five and stated he would derail the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly being planned for 2026.

"It will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul said.

Physical Difference

As Joshua and Paul engaged in the customary face-off, with their size difference on show, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the bout is really proceeding.
