I'll stamp all over 'credible combatant' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.
Former two time world title holder Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge mismatch - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I plan to injure his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will really want to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Exchange
Despite these statements, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - normally recognized for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted ex Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua declined to talk badly about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Still, the novice remains one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, frequently receiving substantial financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would stop the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for 2026.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the usual face-off, with their physical disparity evident, it highlighted just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is truly happening.
