I will dominate 'legitimate boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" the American as the two fighters came face-to-face to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Ex two-time world title holder Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive disparity - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I plan to damage his features and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to really want to injure him. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
Despite such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally recognized for his theatrics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua said.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he said.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer continues to be one of boxing's biggest financial successes, frequently receiving massive financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old forecast a KO victory in rounds four or five and stated he would prevent the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul met for the customary confrontation, with their size difference on show, it highlighted just how improbable this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the bout is really proceeding.
