I will dominate 'serious boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight round contest which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming bout.
Former two time unified title holder Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I will injure his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to seriously aim to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
Despite these statements, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically famous for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted ex Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, at the same time, targeted British opponent Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
However, the relative newcomer is still one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, consistently making substantial earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would derail the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the customary confrontation, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the match is really going ahead.
