I'll overwhelm 'serious fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout match which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.

Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "overpower" the American as the combatants met personally to publicize next month's boxing match.

Ex two time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive mismatch - at Miami venue on 19 December.

Boxer's Mindset

"I will break his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, stated.

"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.

"I will seriously aim to hurt him. That's my intention."

Civil Interaction

Despite those words, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally recognized for his showmanship - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.

Jake Paul rather targeted former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.

Targeting Fury

Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted British opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.

"[Paul] is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.

"I acknowledge that."

Serious Fighter

Despite declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.

"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he said.

Paul's Background

Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mostly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.

He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.

Financial Attraction

Nevertheless, the novice remains one of boxing's biggest commercial attractions, frequently receiving massive earnings.

Prediction and Belief

The 28 year old predicted a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would derail the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.

"It will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul said.

Physical Disparity

As both boxers engaged in the customary face-off, with their size difference evident, it drove home just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the match is actually going ahead.
