I will overwhelm 'credible boxer' Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight round match which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.

Briton Joshua said he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the combatants met personally to promote the upcoming bout.

Former twice unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami arena on 19 December.

Boxer's Mentality

"I'm going to break his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.

"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.

"I will really want to cause him pain. That's my intention."

Respectful Exchange

Despite these statements, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - usually known for his dramatics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.

Paul instead attacked former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.

Targeting Fury

Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British rival Tyson Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.

"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.

"I respect him for that."

Serious Fighter

Despite stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.

"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.

Paul's Background

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

He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.

Financial Attraction

However, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, consistently making massive financial rewards.

Forecast and Belief

The 28-year-old predicted a KO victory in round four or five and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently in the works for two years from now.

"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.

Physical Disparity

As both boxers participated in the usual confrontation, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it highlighted just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the match is truly going ahead.
