The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be streamed live on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "overpower" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex twice unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I'm going to injure his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to really want to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized UK opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's greatest financial successes, regularly earning substantial paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a stoppage in rounds four or five and stated he would derail the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As both boxers participated in the usual stare-down, with their height and weight contrast evident, it highlighted just how unlikely this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the match is truly proceeding.
