I will overwhelm 'serious fighter' Paul - Joshua
The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-round contest which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
Briton 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 the upcoming bout.
Ex two time world boxing king Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I plan to break his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to really want to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
Despite these statements, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually famous for his showmanship - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua declined to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the novice remains one of boxing's biggest commercial attractions, regularly earning huge paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in round four or five and claimed he would stop the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently under discussion for 2026.
"It's going to be my match with Fury next year," Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters engaged in the customary confrontation, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it drove home just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the fight is truly going ahead.
