I will overwhelm 'legitimate fighter' Paul - Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight round match which will be streamed live on Netflix.

Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "break" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to publicize next month's boxing match.

Ex two time world title holder Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.

Boxer's Mindset

"I'm going to injure his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove my superiority," Joshua, 35, declared.

"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.

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

Civil Exchange

Despite those words, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically famous for his showmanship - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.

Jake Paul instead attacked former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.

Targeting Fury

Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.

"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he's present here," Joshua said.

"I acknowledge that."

Legitimate Fighter

Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to speak negatively about his opponent's fighting skills.

"Jake is a credible opponent," he said.

Paul's History

Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional.

He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.

Financial Attraction

However, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's greatest financial successes, consistently making huge earnings.

Forecast and Belief

The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in rounds four or five and stated he would prevent the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.

"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.

Physical Difference

As the two fighters engaged in the customary confrontation, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how improbable this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the fight is really going ahead.
