I'll dominate 'serious fighter' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round contest which will be streamed live on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" the American as the pair confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex two time world title holder Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I'm going to injure his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to genuinely try to injure him. That's my goal."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - normally known for his dramatics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized British opponent Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Still, the relative newcomer continues to be one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, consistently making substantial paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in rounds four or five and claimed he would derail the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.
"It will be my match with Fury next year," Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As both boxers engaged in the traditional stare-down, with their physical disparity on show, it highlighted just how surprising this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the fight is really happening.
