I'll dominate 'legitimate boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight round match which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.

British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight.

Ex two time world title holder Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.

Boxer's Mindset

"I plan to break his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.

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

"I intend to genuinely try to injure him. That's what I want to do."

Respectful Interaction

In spite of these statements, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically famous for his dramatics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.

Paul rather targeted former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.

Targeting Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK rival Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul victory.

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

"I acknowledge that."

Serious Fighter

In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to speak negatively about his opponent's fighting skills.

"Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked.

Jake Paul's Background

Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.

He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.

Financial Attraction

Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of the sport's greatest financial successes, consistently making massive paydays.

Forecast and Confidence

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

"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.

Size Disparity

As the two fighters met for the customary confrontation, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it emphasized just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the match is actually going ahead.
