I will stamp all over 'credible fighter' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" the American as the two fighters came face-to-face to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight.
Former twice world boxing king Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth disparity - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Mentality
"I will 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 will genuinely try to hurt him. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
Despite such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically recognized for his showmanship - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather criticized former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British rival Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua declined to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since becoming pro.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Still, the novice continues to be one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, regularly earning huge earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a stoppage in rounds four or five and asserted he would derail the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly in the works for 2026.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers met for the customary confrontation, with their physical disparity on show, it drove home just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the fight is actually happening.
