I will dominate 'serious combatant' Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight round fight which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.

British boxer Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" the American and "break" the American as the two fighters came face-to-face to build hype for next month's boxing match.

Ex twice world boxing king Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth disparity - at Miami's venue on December 19th.

Fighter's Mentality

"I plan to break his face and break his body up. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35, declared.

"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.

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

Respectful Interaction

Despite such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically known for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.

Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.

Targeting Fury

Joshua, at the same time, targeted British opponent Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.

"[Paul] is better than Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented.

"I respect him for that."

Serious Opponent

In spite of saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's fighting skills.

"Jake is a serious fighter," he said.

Paul's History

Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.

He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.

Commercial Attraction

Still, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, frequently receiving massive paydays.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in round four or five and stated he would stop the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.

"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.

Size Disparity

As Joshua and Paul met for the usual confrontation, with their size difference clearly visible, it highlighted just how surprising this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the match is actually proceeding.
