I'll dominate 'credible fighter' Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-round fight which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.

British boxer Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight.

Former two time unified title holder Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive mismatch - at Miami venue on 19 December.

Fighter's Mentality

"I plan to break his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35, declared.

"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.

"I intend to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my intention."

Civil Exchange

Despite those words, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually known for his theatrics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.

Paul rather attacked ex Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a bout proposal.

Targeting Fury

Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British opponent Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory.

"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.

"I give him credit for that."

Serious Fighter

In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua declined to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.

"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.

Jake Paul's History

Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.

He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.

Financial Success

Nevertheless, the novice remains one of the sport's largest commercial attractions, frequently receiving huge earnings.

Prediction and Belief

The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in round four or five and stated he would stop the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently in the works for 2026.

"It's going to be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.

Physical Difference

As both boxers participated in the customary stare-down, with their physical disparity evident, it drove home just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the bout is really going ahead.
