I'll overwhelm 'serious boxer' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight round contest which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" the American as the combatants confronted each other to publicize next month's heavyweight fight.
Former two time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I'm going to damage his features and break his body up. I'm here to prove my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I will really want to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Exchange
Despite these statements, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically recognized for his dramatics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, at the same time, criticized UK rival Tyson Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Opponent
Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, frequently receiving huge paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would stop the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly in the works for 2026.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul met for the customary stare-down, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it highlighted just how surprising this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the bout is truly happening.
