I will overwhelm 'legitimate boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight round contest which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to promote next month's boxing match.
Ex two-time unified title holder Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge mismatch - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I plan to damage his features and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to really want to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
Despite these statements, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically famous for his theatrics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked ex Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he said.
Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mostly fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Still, the relative newcomer is still one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, regularly earning huge financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in round four or five and asserted he would derail the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly being planned for two years from now.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Size Difference
As both boxers participated in the customary confrontation, with their physical disparity on show, it emphasized just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the bout is actually happening.
