I'll dominate 'credible boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight round contest which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.

Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the combatants came face-to-face to promote next month's boxing match.

Ex two-time world boxing king Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive mismatch - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.

Boxer's Attitude

"I will injure his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35, declared.

"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.

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

Civil Exchange

In spite of these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - typically recognized for his showmanship - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.

Paul rather targeted ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.

Taking Aim at Fury

Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.

"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented.

"I acknowledge that."

Legitimate Fighter

In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.

"Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked.

Paul's History

Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.

He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.

Commercial Attraction

Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, regularly earning massive earnings.

Forecast and Confidence

The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in round four or five and asserted he would derail the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.

"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul said.

Size Difference

As both boxers engaged in the usual face-off, with their height and weight contrast on show, it highlighted just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the match is really going ahead.
