I'll dominate 'serious fighter' Paul - Joshua
The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the combatants confronted each other to publicize the upcoming boxing match.
Former twice world title holder Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I will injure his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to seriously aim to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
In spite of those words, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically known for his theatrics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather attacked former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, consistently making substantial financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old predicted a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would derail the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently under discussion for two years from now.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Size Disparity
As both boxers engaged in the traditional face-off, with their size difference on show, it emphasized just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is truly proceeding.
