I'll overwhelm 'credible fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be broadcast live on Netflix.

British boxer Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "break" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to promote next month's bout.

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

Boxer's Mentality

"I will damage his features and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.

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

"I intend to really want to hurt him. That's my intention."

Respectful Exchange

Despite those words, a calm Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically recognized for his showmanship - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.

Paul instead criticized former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.

Targeting Tyson Fury

Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British rival Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.

"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's present here," the boxer said.

"I give him credit for that."

Serious Fighter

Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.

"Jake is a credible opponent," he said.

Paul's History

Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.

He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.

Financial Attraction

However, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's greatest financial successes, regularly earning substantial earnings.

Prediction and Belief

The 28-year-old predicted a KO victory in rounds four or five and stated he would prevent the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly being planned for two years from now.

"It's going to be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.

Physical Difference

As both boxers engaged in the traditional face-off, with their size difference on show, it emphasized just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the match is actually happening.
