I'll overwhelm 'legitimate boxer' Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be shown live on the streaming platform.

Briton Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "break" his opponent as the pair met personally to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight.

Former twice unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami arena on 19 December.

Boxer's Mentality

"I plan to damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.

"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.

"I will genuinely try to injure him. That's my goal."

Civil Interaction

In spite of such comments, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.

Paul instead criticized ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a bout proposal.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at UK rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.

"[Paul] is better than Fury - he's present here," Joshua said.

"I give him credit for that."

Legitimate Opponent

In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills.

"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.

Paul's History

Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.

He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.

Financial Attraction

However, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, consistently making substantial earnings.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28 year old predicted a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would derail the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.

"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.

Size Difference

As the two fighters met for the customary face-off, with their physical disparity evident, it emphasized just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the bout is truly proceeding.
