I will dominate 'credible combatant' Jake Paul - Joshua
The British boxer is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-bout contest which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to build hype for next month's boxing match.
Ex twice world title holder Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I will injure his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
In spite of such comments, a calm Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally famous for his theatrics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK rival Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
However, the novice remains one of boxing's largest money-making draws, regularly earning substantial paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old predicted a KO victory in round four or five and claimed he would prevent the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Difference
As the two fighters engaged in the traditional confrontation, with their size difference on show, it highlighted just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the match is really happening.
