I'll dominate 'serious boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua
The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-bout contest which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" the American and "break" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to build hype for next month's boxing match.
Ex two time world title holder Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge disparity - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Boxer's Attitude
"I plan to break his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to seriously aim to hurt him. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
Despite such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually recognized for his theatrics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British rival Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of 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.
Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or faded names 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 financial successes, frequently receiving substantial financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in rounds four or five and claimed he would prevent the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It's going to be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul said.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers engaged in the traditional face-off, with their physical disparity on show, it highlighted just how improbable this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is really happening.
