I will stamp all over 'legitimate combatant' Jake Paul - 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 declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" the American as the two fighters met personally to build hype for the upcoming bout.
Ex twice world boxing king Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth disparity - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I plan to break his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
In spite of such comments, a composed Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally recognized for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at UK rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Still, the relative newcomer remains one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, regularly earning massive financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would stop the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for 2026.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers participated in the usual confrontation, with their height and weight contrast evident, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is really happening.
