I will dominate 'legitimate fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua
The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the pair came face-to-face to promote next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex twice unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Attitude
"I plan to injure his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I will genuinely try to hurt him. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
Despite those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically known for his showmanship - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather attacked former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British rival Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he's present here," the boxer commented.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Paul's History
Jake 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 relative newcomer remains one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, regularly earning massive earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a knockout win in rounds four or five and asserted he would derail the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters engaged in the customary face-off, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it drove home just how improbable this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the bout is truly happening.
