I'll overwhelm 'serious boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.

Briton Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the combatants met personally to promote the upcoming heavyweight fight.

Former two-time world boxing king Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami venue on 19 December.

Fighter's Attitude

"I plan to break his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35, said.

"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.

"I will seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my goal."

Respectful Interaction

In spite of these statements, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually famous for his theatrics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.

Paul instead targeted ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.

Targeting Fury

Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized British rival Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.

"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented.

"I respect him for that."

Legitimate Fighter

Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.

"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.

Paul's Background

Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.

He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.

Commercial Success

Still, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's biggest commercial attractions, frequently receiving substantial paydays.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28-year-old forecast a stoppage in rounds four or five and claimed he would prevent the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.

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

Physical Difference

As the two fighters participated in the customary stare-down, with their size difference clearly visible, it drove home just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the match is actually going ahead.
