I'll dominate 'credible boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight round match which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" the American as the two fighters met personally to promote next month's boxing match.
Ex two-time world boxing king Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive mismatch - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I will break his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove my superiority," Joshua, 35, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to really want to hurt him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
In spite of these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally recognized for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Still, the relative newcomer continues to be one of boxing's largest financial successes, frequently receiving huge earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would stop the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly in the works for 2026.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers engaged in the usual confrontation, with their height and weight contrast on show, it highlighted just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the fight is actually proceeding.
