I will dominate 'serious fighter' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.

Briton Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "break" the American as the combatants confronted each other to promote the upcoming boxing match.

Former two time world boxing king Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge mismatch - at Miami's venue on December 19th.

Boxer's Mindset

"I will injure his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.

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

"I'm going to really want to hurt him. That's what I want to do."

Civil Interaction

Despite such comments, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - normally famous for his theatrics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.

Paul instead targeted ex Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.

Targeting Fury

Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK rival Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win.

"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated.

"I respect him for that."

Legitimate Fighter

In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's boxing ability.

"Jake is a serious fighter," he said.

Paul's Background

Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.

He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.

Financial Attraction

Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's greatest financial successes, consistently making massive earnings.

Prediction and Belief

The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in round four or five and claimed he would derail the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently under discussion for 2026.

"It will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.

Physical Difference

As Joshua and Paul participated in the usual stare-down, with their physical disparity evident, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the match is actually happening.
