I will dominate 'serious boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua
The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
Briton Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to build hype for the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former two-time world title holder Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I'm going to damage his features and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will really want to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
Despite those words, a calm Joshua and social media star Paul - typically recognized for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK rival Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua said.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Still, the novice is still one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, regularly earning massive earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would stop the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently in the works for two years from now.
"It will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Size Difference
As both boxers met for the usual face-off, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the match is actually going ahead.
