I'll dominate 'legitimate combatant' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to promote the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex two time world title holder Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I'm going to damage his features and break his body up. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally recognized for his theatrics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Still, the relative newcomer is still one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, frequently receiving substantial financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in rounds four or five and asserted he would prevent the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for 2026.
"It will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the usual confrontation, with their physical disparity on show, it highlighted just how improbable this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is really happening.
