I will overwhelm 'credible boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the pair confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former two-time unified title holder Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth disparity - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I plan to injure his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to seriously aim to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - normally known for his showmanship - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather attacked ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he's present here," the boxer commented.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly fought MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
However, the novice is still one of the sport's biggest commercial attractions, frequently receiving huge financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in rounds four or five and stated he would stop the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently under discussion for two years from now.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers engaged in the usual face-off, with their height and weight contrast evident, it highlighted just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the match is truly happening.
