I will dominate 'credible combatant' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" the American and "overpower" the American as the pair confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former two time unified title holder Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I plan to injure his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to really want to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
Despite these statements, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically known for his showmanship - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead targeted former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a ÂŁ1m bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
However, the novice remains one of boxing's biggest financial successes, regularly earning massive earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in rounds four or five and asserted he would stop the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul participated in the usual stare-down, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how improbable this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the bout is actually happening.
