I will overwhelm 'credible fighter' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" the American as the two fighters met personally to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex two-time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge disparity - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I'm going to damage his features and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to really want to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of these statements, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - usually famous for his dramatics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he's present here," Joshua said.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.
Paul's History
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, consistently making substantial earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would derail the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently in the works for 2026.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Size Difference
As both boxers participated in the traditional stare-down, with their size difference evident, it emphasized just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the match is really proceeding.
