I'll dominate 'credible boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight round fight which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.

Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" the American and "overpower" the American as the combatants came face-to-face to build hype for next month's bout.

Ex two time unified title holder Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth disparity - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.

Boxer's Attitude

"I'm going to injure his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.

"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.

"I intend to really want to injure him. That's my goal."

Civil Interaction

In spite of such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually known for his showmanship - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.

Paul instead criticized former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.

Taking Aim at Fury

Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK rival Tyson Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.

"[Paul] is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.

"I acknowledge that."

Serious Fighter

In spite of saying he intends to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's boxing ability.

"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.

Jake Paul's Background

Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.

He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.

Financial Attraction

Still, the relative newcomer continues to be one of boxing's largest financial successes, regularly earning huge paydays.

Prediction and Belief

The 28-year-old predicted a KO victory in rounds four or five and claimed he would stop the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.

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

Size Difference

As the two fighters participated in the usual stare-down, with their size difference on show, it highlighted just how improbable this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the match is truly proceeding.
