I will overwhelm 'credible boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-bout match which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the two fighters met personally to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight.
Former twice world heavyweight champion Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I will injure his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Civil Exchange
In spite of such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - normally known for his dramatics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted ex Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, targeted UK opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.
Financial Success
However, the novice remains one of the sport's biggest financial successes, consistently making substantial financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a KO victory in round four or five and stated he would stop the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters engaged in the customary confrontation, with their physical disparity evident, it drove home just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is truly happening.
