I'll overwhelm 'credible combatant' Paul - Joshua
The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout match which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to promote the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex two-time unified title holder Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Attitude
"I will damage his features and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will genuinely try to hurt him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
In spite of such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually known for his theatrics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead targeted former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK opponent Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, consistently making substantial earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would stop the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul participated in the usual face-off, with their size difference on show, it highlighted just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the match is truly going ahead.
