I'll overwhelm 'legitimate combatant' Jake Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.

Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to promote next month's boxing match.

Former twice unified heavyweight champion Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge disparity - at Miami's arena on 19 December.

Boxer's Attitude

"I'm going to damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.

"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.

"I'm going to really want to injure him. That's what I want to do."

Respectful Exchange

Despite such comments, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually known for his theatrics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.

Jake Paul rather criticized ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Joshua, at the same time, criticized UK rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.

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

"I respect him for that."

Serious Opponent

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

"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.

Paul's History

Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional.

He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.

Financial Success

Nevertheless, the novice is still one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, regularly earning massive earnings.

Forecast and Belief

The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in round four or five and claimed he would derail the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly being planned 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 height and weight contrast evident, it highlighted just how surprising this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the bout is really happening.
