I'll dominate 'serious fighter' Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight round match which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to promote next month's boxing match.
Ex twice world boxing king Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge disparity - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Attitude
"I plan to damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I will genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically recognized for his theatrics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian rejected a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted UK opponent Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he's present here," Joshua said.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Still, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, regularly earning massive financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would derail the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As the two fighters met for the customary stare-down, with their physical disparity evident, it highlighted just how surprising this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is actually going ahead.
