I'll overwhelm 'credible combatant' Jake Paul - Joshua
The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "break" the American as the two fighters met personally to publicize the upcoming boxing match.
Ex two time world heavyweight champion Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I'm going to injure his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to really want to injure him. That's my goal."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of these statements, a calm Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically known for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Paul instead attacked ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK rival Tyson Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's greatest financial successes, regularly earning huge earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.
"It will be my match with Fury next year," Paul declared.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul met for the traditional face-off, with their size difference evident, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is really going ahead.
