I will dominate 'serious fighter' Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.

British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "overpower" the American as the pair confronted each other to build hype for next month's boxing match.

Former twice unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami arena on 19 December.

Boxer's Attitude

"I plan to injure his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.

"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.

"I'm going to genuinely try to injure him. That's my intention."

Respectful Interaction

In spite of those words, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - typically recognized for his theatrics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.

Jake Paul instead attacked ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after the Cameroonian rejected a fight offer.

Targeting Fury

Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.

"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he's present here," the boxer commented.

"I give him credit for that."

Serious Fighter

In spite of saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.

"Jake is a serious fighter," he said.

Paul's History

Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.

He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.

Financial Attraction

Nevertheless, the novice is still one of boxing's greatest commercial attractions, regularly earning substantial paydays.

Prediction and Belief

The 28-year-old forecast a stoppage in rounds four or five and stated he would derail the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently being planned for two years from now.

"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.

Size Disparity

As both boxers participated in the customary face-off, with their size difference clearly visible, it drove home just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the bout is truly going ahead.
