I'll dominate 'legitimate fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight round fight which will be streamed live on Netflix.

British boxer Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the pair came face-to-face to publicize next month's bout.

Ex twice world title holder Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's venue on 19 December.

Fighter's Attitude

"I'm going to injure his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.

"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.

"I intend to seriously aim to injure him. That's what I want to do."

Civil Interaction

Despite these statements, a composed Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally recognized for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.

Jake Paul rather attacked ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.

Targeting Tyson Fury

Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British rival Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul win.

"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer commented.

"I respect him for that."

Serious Opponent

In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.

"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he said.

Jake Paul's History

Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.

He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.

Commercial Attraction

However, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's biggest commercial attractions, regularly earning substantial financial rewards.

Prediction and Belief

The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would stop the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.

"It will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.

Size Difference

As the two fighters participated in the customary face-off, with their height and weight contrast evident, it drove home just how surprising this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the bout is really proceeding.
