I'll overwhelm 'serious boxer' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the combatants confronted each other to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex twice world boxing king Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge mismatch - at Miami arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Mentality
"I'm going to break his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
In spite of such comments, a composed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically famous for his dramatics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather attacked ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice remains one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, regularly earning huge earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in rounds four or five and asserted he would stop the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul met for the usual confrontation, with their size difference on show, it highlighted just how unlikely this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is truly proceeding.
