I will overwhelm 'credible combatant' Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" the American and "overpower" the American as the two fighters met personally to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex two time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge mismatch - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I plan to break his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to genuinely try to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
In spite of such comments, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually known for his showmanship - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked ex Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "not serious" after the Cameroonian rejected a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted UK opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Still, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's largest money-making draws, frequently receiving huge financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old predicted a stoppage in rounds four or five and claimed he would derail the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently in the works for two years from now.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters engaged in the traditional confrontation, with their physical disparity evident, it highlighted just how improbable this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the fight is truly going ahead.
