I will stamp all over 'legitimate fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round fight which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the two fighters confronted each other to promote the upcoming bout.
Ex two time unified title holder Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I'm going to damage his features and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of these statements, a calm Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally famous for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather targeted former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK rival Tyson Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua said.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
However, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's greatest financial successes, frequently receiving huge financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a knockout win in round four or five and claimed he would derail the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.
Size Difference
As the two fighters participated in the traditional stare-down, with their size difference clearly visible, it emphasized just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is actually going ahead.
