I will dominate 'serious combatant' Jake Paul - Joshua
The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-round contest which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "break" his opponent as the pair met personally to promote next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex two time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Mentality
"I plan to damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to genuinely try to injure him. That's my goal."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically famous for his showmanship - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite stating he plans to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
However, the relative newcomer continues to be one of boxing's biggest financial successes, frequently receiving substantial earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would stop the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the customary stare-down, with their size difference on show, it highlighted just how improbable this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is really happening.
