I will dominate 'credible boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout contest which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" his opponent as the two fighters met personally to build hype for the upcoming bout.
Ex twice world boxing king Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I will break his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
Despite those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather criticized former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou declined a bout proposal.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice is still one of the sport's largest financial successes, frequently receiving substantial paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a KO victory in round four or five and stated he would stop the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly being planned for 2026.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters met for the usual stare-down, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it drove home just how improbable this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the fight is truly going ahead.
