I'll dominate 'serious boxer' Paul - Joshua
The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" the American as the combatants came face-to-face to promote the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former two-time world boxing king Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I'm going to damage his features and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I will seriously aim to hurt him. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
In spite of these statements, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally famous for his theatrics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted ex Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British rival Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer stated.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, frequently receiving huge financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in round four or five and asserted he would derail the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently in the works for 2026.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Size Disparity
As both boxers participated in the customary confrontation, with their physical disparity evident, it drove home just how improbable this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is really proceeding.
