I'll overwhelm 'legitimate boxer' Paul - Joshua
The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight round contest which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" the American as the two fighters met personally to build hype for next month's boxing match.
Former twice world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I will damage his features and damage his physique. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will genuinely try to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of these statements, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually famous for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian rejected a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK opponent Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
However, the novice continues to be one of boxing's greatest financial successes, consistently making massive financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old forecast a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would prevent the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers engaged in the usual stare-down, with their physical disparity evident, it drove home just how unlikely this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the match is really happening.
