I will dominate 'legitimate boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua
The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight round fight which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the pair came face-to-face to promote next month's bout.
Former two-time unified heavyweight champion Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge mismatch - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I'm going to damage his features and break his body up. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will genuinely try to hurt him. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
In spite of such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically recognized for his showmanship - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead targeted ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK opponent Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul win.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua said.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
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 credible opponent," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
However, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, frequently receiving massive paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a stoppage in rounds four or five and stated he would prevent the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the customary face-off, with their size difference on show, it highlighted just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is actually happening.
