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

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout contest which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.

British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "overpower" the American as the pair came face-to-face to build hype for the upcoming bout.

Ex twice unified heavyweight champion Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive mismatch - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.

Boxer's Mindset

"I will break his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, said.

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

"I'm going to seriously aim to hurt him. That's my intention."

Civil Exchange

Despite such comments, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - typically recognized for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.

Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a match opportunity.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British rival Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul victory.

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

"I respect him for that."

Legitimate Fighter

In spite of stating he plans to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.

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

Paul's History

Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.

He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.

Commercial Success

However, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's greatest financial successes, consistently making substantial paydays.

Forecast and Belief

The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would stop the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently being planned for 2026.

"It will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.

Physical Disparity

As the two fighters engaged in the usual confrontation, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is actually proceeding.
