I'll dominate 'serious combatant' Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.

Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "overpower" the American as the combatants met personally to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.

Former twice unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.

Boxer's Mindset

"I will break his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, stated.

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

"I intend to seriously aim to hurt him. That's what I want to do."

Civil Exchange

Despite such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically famous for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.

Jake Paul rather criticized ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.

Targeting Fury

Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK rival Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul win.

"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.

"I give him credit for that."

Serious Fighter

In spite of saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability.

"Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked.

Paul's Background

Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since becoming pro.

He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.

Financial Success

Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's largest money-making draws, consistently making massive financial rewards.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in rounds four or five and stated he would stop the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly being planned for 2026.

"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul said.

Physical Difference

As Joshua and Paul participated in the usual face-off, with their physical disparity evident, it drove home just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is really going ahead.
