I'll overwhelm 'credible fighter' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" the American as the pair came face-to-face to build hype for the upcoming bout.
Former two-time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I will break his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. 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 those words, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - typically famous for his theatrics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted ex Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British rival Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
However, the relative newcomer remains one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, frequently receiving massive financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a knockout win in round four or five and claimed he would prevent the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the customary confrontation, with their height and weight contrast on show, it drove home just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the match is really happening.
