I'll dominate 'credible boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming bout.
Ex two time world title holder Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive mismatch - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I'm going to injure his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to really want to injure him. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
Despite these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually known for his dramatics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather targeted ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted British opponent Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice remains one of boxing's largest financial successes, consistently making huge paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a KO victory in round four or five and claimed he would derail the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul participated in the traditional confrontation, with their size difference on show, it drove home just how improbable this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the match is truly proceeding.
