I will overwhelm 'credible boxer' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round contest which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the two fighters confronted each other to publicize next month's boxing match.
Ex two time unified heavyweight champion Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I plan to damage his features and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to seriously aim to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
In spite of these statements, a calm Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally known for his showmanship - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou declined a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted UK opponent Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua said.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the novice is still one of boxing's biggest commercial attractions, consistently making huge earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old predicted a KO victory in round four or five and stated he would derail the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As both boxers participated in the customary stare-down, with their size difference clearly visible, it highlighted just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is truly happening.
