I will dominate 'legitimate combatant' Jake Paul - Joshua
The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the combatants met personally to promote next month's bout.
Ex twice unified boxing king Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I plan to break his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
In spite of those words, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically recognized for his dramatics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather attacked former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized UK rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he said.
Paul's History
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's biggest commercial attractions, regularly earning massive earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old predicted a knockout win in rounds four or five and stated he would prevent the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now.
"It will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Size Disparity
As the two fighters participated in the usual face-off, with their physical disparity evident, it drove home just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the fight is actually happening.
