I'll dominate 'legitimate boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the pair came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming boxing match.
Former twice unified boxing king Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I will injure his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I will genuinely try to hurt him. That's my goal."
Respectful Exchange
Despite these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically recognized for his showmanship - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather targeted former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK opponent Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
However, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's biggest commercial attractions, consistently making massive financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old forecast a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would stop the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly in the works for 2026.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As both boxers engaged in the traditional confrontation, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it emphasized just how improbable this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is really going ahead.
