I will dominate 'credible fighter' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
Briton Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to promote next month's boxing match.
Ex two time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Boxer's Mentality
"I will injure his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 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 what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
In spite of these statements, a calm Joshua and social media star Paul - typically recognized for his showmanship - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Paul instead targeted former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's largest money-making draws, regularly earning huge financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a stoppage in rounds four or five and stated he would derail the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.
Size Difference
As both boxers participated in the usual face-off, with their physical disparity on show, it drove home just how improbable this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the match is actually going ahead.
