I will dominate 'credible combatant' Paul - Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.

British boxer Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters met personally to publicize next month's bout.

Ex two time unified title holder Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.

Fighter's Attitude

"I plan to injure his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.

"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.

"I intend to seriously aim to hurt him. That's what I want to do."

Respectful Interaction

Despite such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - typically famous for his showmanship - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.

Paul instead criticized former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a match opportunity.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.

"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated.

"I respect him for that."

Serious Fighter

Despite declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.

"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.

Paul's History

Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional.

He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.

Financial Attraction

Still, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's greatest financial successes, frequently receiving substantial earnings.

Forecast and Confidence

The 28 year old forecast a stoppage in rounds four or five and claimed he would prevent the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.

"It will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.

Physical Disparity

As Joshua and Paul met for the usual face-off, with their physical disparity on show, it drove home just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is really proceeding.
