I'll dominate 'serious boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-round match which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the pair met personally to publicize the upcoming bout.
Ex two-time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive disparity - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I will damage his features and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to really want to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Exchange
In spite of those words, a calm Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally known for his showmanship - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather targeted former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK rival Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite stating he plans to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he said.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.
He lost to British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Still, the novice is still one of the sport's biggest financial successes, frequently receiving massive paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would prevent the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Disparity
As the two fighters participated in the traditional face-off, with their size difference clearly visible, it highlighted just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the bout is truly proceeding.
