British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the combatants met personally to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight. Former two-time world boxing king Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive mismatch - at Miami's arena on 19 December. Fighter's Attitude "I will break his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, declared. "I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality. "I will really want to injure him. That's my goal." Civil Interaction Despite those words, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually famous for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other. Jake Paul instead criticized ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity. Targeting Fury Joshua, meanwhile, targeted UK opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul. "[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated. "I give him credit for that." Serious Fighter Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills. "Jake is a credible opponent," he said. Paul's Background Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing. He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year. Commercial Success Still, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's biggest commercial attractions, frequently receiving substantial earnings. Forecast and Belief The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in rounds four or five and stated he would prevent the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly in the works for 2026. "It will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul declared. Physical Difference As the two fighters engaged in the traditional confrontation, with their size difference evident, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is actually going ahead.
