I will overwhelm 'serious fighter' Paul - Joshua
The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight round contest which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" the American and "break" the American as the combatants came face-to-face to build hype for next month's boxing match.
Ex twice world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive mismatch - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I plan to break his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of such comments, a composed Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually famous for his dramatics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, at the same time, criticized British opponent Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice is still one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, frequently receiving huge financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old predicted a stoppage in round four or five and stated he would stop the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul met for the usual confrontation, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is truly happening.
