I will dominate 'credible combatant' Jake Paul - Joshua
The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to promote the upcoming bout.
Former two time unified title holder Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Mentality
"I'm going to damage his features and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I will really want to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
In spite of those words, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally recognized for his showmanship - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after the Cameroonian turned down a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at UK opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Still, the novice is still one of the sport's greatest financial successes, regularly earning huge financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in rounds four or five and asserted he would derail the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently in the works for 2026.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As both boxers engaged in the usual confrontation, with their size difference clearly visible, it highlighted just how surprising this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the match is truly going ahead.
