British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the combatants came face-to-face to publicize next month's heavyweight fight. Former two-time world boxing king Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive mismatch - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December. Boxer's Mindset "I plan to injure his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated. "I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality. "I'm going to seriously aim to hurt him. That's my intention." Respectful Interaction Despite such comments, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically known for his showmanship - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other. Paul instead targeted ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer. Targeting Tyson Fury Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul. "[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua said. "I acknowledge that." Legitimate Opponent Despite saying he intends to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability. "Jake is a legitimate boxer," he remarked. Paul's History Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing. He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023. Financial Attraction Still, the novice is still one of boxing's largest financial successes, consistently making substantial financial rewards.

"It will be my match with Fury next year," Paul stated. Physical Difference As the two fighters participated in the traditional confrontation, with their physical disparity evident, it highlighted just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the match is truly proceeding.
