I will overwhelm 'serious combatant' Paul - Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

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

British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "break" the American as the pair came face-to-face to promote next month's heavyweight fight.

Ex twice world title holder Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge mismatch - at Miami's arena on 19 December.

Fighter's Attitude

"I will injure his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, stated.

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

"I'm going to seriously aim to hurt him. That's my goal."

Civil Interaction

In spite of such comments, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally recognized for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.

Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized British opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory.

"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.

"I give him credit for that."

Legitimate Opponent

Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's boxing ability.

"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.

Jake Paul's History

Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.

He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.

Commercial Attraction

However, the novice is still one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, frequently receiving huge earnings.

Forecast and Confidence

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

"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said.

Physical Disparity

As the two fighters participated in the customary stare-down, with their physical disparity evident, it drove home just how surprising this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is truly going ahead.
