I will stamp all over 'legitimate fighter' Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight round match which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the two fighters came face-to-face to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex two time world boxing king Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge disparity - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I will break his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to really want to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
Despite these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - normally recognized for his dramatics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted ex Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the novice remains one of the sport's largest financial successes, frequently receiving huge financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in round four or five and stated he would derail the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.
Size Difference
As the two fighters participated in the customary face-off, with their size difference on show, it highlighted just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is really happening.
