I will overwhelm 'legitimate fighter' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-round fight which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the pair came face-to-face to promote next month's bout.
Ex two-time unified heavyweight champion Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I plan to damage his features and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to genuinely try to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
Despite those words, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually famous for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather targeted former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Still, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, regularly earning huge earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in round four or five and stated he would stop the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"It's going to be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the usual confrontation, with their physical disparity on show, it emphasized just how improbable this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is actually proceeding.
