I will dominate 'credible boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the pair confronted each other to promote next month's boxing match.
Ex twice world title holder Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive mismatch - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Mentality
"I'm going to damage his features and damage his physique. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will genuinely try to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Civil Exchange
Despite such comments, a calm Joshua and social media star Paul - usually recognized for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead targeted former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized UK opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
However, the novice is still one of the sport's biggest financial successes, regularly earning substantial financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old predicted a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would stop the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly being planned for two years from now.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul met for the usual face-off, with their size difference on show, it drove home just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is really proceeding.
