I will dominate 'serious combatant' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight round contest which will be streamed live on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the pair met personally to publicize next month's bout.
Ex two time world boxing king Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I will break his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I will really want to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
In spite of these statements, a calm Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually known for his showmanship - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK opponent Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer commented.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he said.
Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, regularly earning massive paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would stop the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently under discussion for two years from now.
"It's going to be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.
Size Disparity
As the two fighters engaged in the customary confrontation, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the match is actually going ahead.
