I'll overwhelm 'serious combatant' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "break" the American as the combatants came face-to-face to promote next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex two-time unified title holder Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive mismatch - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I will damage his features and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to genuinely try to injure him. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
Despite such comments, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually famous for his dramatics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Paul instead attacked former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian rejected a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized UK opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of boxing's largest money-making draws, regularly earning huge earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would prevent the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Difference
As the two fighters participated in the usual face-off, with their physical disparity evident, it highlighted just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is truly proceeding.
