Briton Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming boxing match. Former two-time world boxing king Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th. Fighter's Mentality "I will break his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, stated. "I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality. "I intend to really want to hurt him. That's my goal." Respectful Exchange In spite of those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - usually recognized for his showmanship - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other. Paul instead targeted ex Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer. Taking Aim at Fury Joshua, at the same time, criticized British opponent Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul. "[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer said. "I acknowledge that." Serious Fighter Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent. "Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated. Paul's Background Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or faded names since entering professional boxing. He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023. Financial Attraction Still, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's biggest financial successes, consistently making massive paydays. Forecast and Confidence The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would prevent the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly in the works for 2026. "It will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul declared. Physical Difference As Joshua and Paul engaged in the traditional face-off, with their height and weight contrast evident, it emphasized just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the bout is actually going ahead.
