I will stamp all over 'credible combatant' Jake Paul - Joshua
The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" the American and "break" the American as the two fighters came face-to-face to promote next month's bout.
Former two time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I will damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to seriously aim to injure him. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
Despite those words, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually known for his dramatics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of the sport's biggest commercial attractions, regularly earning huge paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old predicted a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would derail the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It's going to be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul participated in the traditional confrontation, with their height and weight contrast evident, it drove home just how improbable this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the match is really proceeding.
