I will overwhelm 'legitimate combatant' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-round match which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "break" the American as the combatants met personally to publicize the upcoming bout.
Former twice world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I'm going to damage his features and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will really want to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually known for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather criticized former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of saying he intends to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
However, the relative newcomer continues to be one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, consistently making massive earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old forecast a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would stop the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters engaged in the traditional face-off, with their size difference on show, it emphasized just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is really going ahead.
