I'll overwhelm 'credible fighter' Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be streamed live on Netflix.

Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the pair met personally to publicize next month's bout.

Ex two time world title holder Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive mismatch - at Miami arena on 19 December.

Fighter's Mindset

"I'm going to damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, said.

"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.

"I'm going to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my goal."

Civil Exchange

In spite of such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - typically recognized for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.

Paul instead attacked ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.

Targeting Fury

Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted UK rival Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.

"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.

"I respect him for that."

Legitimate Opponent

Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.

"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.

Jake Paul's Background

Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since becoming pro.

He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.

Financial Success

Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's biggest financial successes, frequently receiving massive financial rewards.

Prediction and Belief

The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would stop the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.

"It will be my match with Fury next year," Paul declared.

Physical Disparity

As Joshua and Paul engaged in the usual face-off, with their physical disparity on show, it emphasized just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is truly happening.
