I'll overwhelm 'credible combatant' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round match which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.
Ex two-time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth disparity - at Miami arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I plan to injure his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to really want to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - typically recognized for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather criticized ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British opponent Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
However, the novice remains one of the sport's largest money-making draws, regularly earning huge financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old predicted a KO victory in round four or five and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Size Disparity
As both boxers met for the customary stare-down, with their size difference evident, it highlighted just how unlikely this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the match is actually going ahead.
