I will dominate 'serious boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "overpower" the American as the pair came face-to-face to promote next month's heavyweight fight.
Former two time world title holder Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I plan to break his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
Despite such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - usually known for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, at the same time, criticized UK opponent Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
However, the novice is still one of the sport's largest financial successes, consistently making substantial earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would derail the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.
"It's going to be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the usual face-off, with their height and weight contrast on show, it drove home just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is really happening.
