I will overwhelm 'legitimate fighter' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "overpower" the American as the pair met personally to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former two time world boxing king Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth disparity - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I'm going to break his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will genuinely try to hurt him. That's my goal."
Respectful Exchange
Despite those words, a calm Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually famous for his showmanship - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead attacked former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian rejected a bout proposal.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Still, the novice is still one of boxing's greatest financial successes, regularly earning substantial earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would derail the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul participated in the customary confrontation, with their size difference clearly visible, it highlighted just how surprising this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the match is really proceeding.
