I will overwhelm 'serious fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-round contest which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the two fighters came face-to-face to build hype for next month's boxing match.
Former twice unified title holder Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I'm going to break his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to really want to injure him. That's my goal."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather targeted ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at UK opponent Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly fought MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
However, the relative newcomer is still one of the sport's largest financial successes, regularly earning substantial paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in rounds four or five and stated he would stop the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the customary face-off, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it drove home just how surprising this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is truly happening.
