I'll overwhelm 'legitimate fighter' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight round match which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to promote the upcoming bout.
Ex two-time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge disparity - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I will injure his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to seriously aim to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
Despite such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - normally known for his theatrics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British opponent Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to speak negatively about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Still, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, regularly earning massive earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a knockout win in round four or five and stated he would stop the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently under discussion for 2026.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Disparity
As the two fighters participated in the usual stare-down, with their size difference clearly visible, it drove home just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is really happening.
