I'll dominate 'legitimate fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua
The British boxer is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight round fight which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "break" the American as the combatants met personally to promote the upcoming bout.
Ex two time world boxing king Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive mismatch - at Miami arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Attitude
"I plan to damage his features and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I will seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
Despite these statements, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - normally known for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Paul instead criticized former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua said.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he said.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Still, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's greatest financial successes, frequently receiving huge earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a stoppage in round four or five and claimed he would stop the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.
Size Difference
As the two fighters met for the customary stare-down, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it drove home just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is actually going ahead.
