I'll dominate 'serious fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua
The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be shown live on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex two-time unified heavyweight champion Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I'm going to injure his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
In spite of these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - usually recognized for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
However, the novice is still one of the sport's greatest financial successes, regularly earning huge earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a stoppage in rounds four or five and stated he would derail the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently under discussion for 2026.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said.
Size Difference
As the two fighters met for the customary confrontation, with their size difference on show, it emphasized just how improbable this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is actually going ahead.
