I'll dominate 'legitimate boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the pair met personally to build hype for the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex two time world boxing king Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge mismatch - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I plan to break his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will genuinely try to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
Despite those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually known for his showmanship - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua said.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly fought MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's biggest commercial attractions, frequently receiving huge paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in round four or five and stated he would prevent the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters participated in the customary confrontation, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it drove home just how unlikely this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the fight is actually proceeding.
