I'll overwhelm 'serious boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight round fight which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" the American and "overpower" the American as the combatants confronted each other to publicize next month's bout.
Ex twice world title holder Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I plan to break his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will seriously aim to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Civil Exchange
In spite of such comments, a calm Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually known for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Paul instead criticized former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK rival Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, consistently making substantial financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the customary confrontation, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it highlighted just how improbable this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is truly proceeding.
