I will stamp all over 'credible combatant' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight round contest which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex two time world title holder Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I plan to break his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
In spite of these statements, a calm Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally recognized for his showmanship - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead targeted former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK opponent Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite stating he plans to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Still, the novice continues to be one of boxing's largest financial successes, regularly earning huge financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would prevent the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.
"It will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters participated in the customary stare-down, with their physical disparity evident, it emphasized just how improbable this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is truly proceeding.
