I'll dominate 'serious combatant' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight round contest which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.

Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the pair met personally to promote next month's bout.

Ex twice world title holder Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive disparity - at Miami arena on 19 December.

Boxer's Mentality

"I will injure his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35, declared.

"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.

"I will genuinely try to hurt him. That's my intention."

Civil Interaction

In spite of such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - normally famous for his dramatics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.

Paul instead targeted ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.

Taking Aim at Fury

Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK opponent Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.

"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer commented.

"I acknowledge that."

Legitimate Fighter

Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.

"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he said.

Jake Paul's History

Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.

He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.

Financial Attraction

However, the novice continues to be one of the sport's greatest financial successes, regularly earning massive financial rewards.

Forecast and Confidence

The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would stop the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.

"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.

Size Difference

As Joshua and Paul participated in the usual face-off, with their height and weight contrast evident, it highlighted just how unlikely this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is actually going ahead.
