I will dominate 'serious boxer' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-round match which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "break" the American as the pair confronted each other to promote next month's bout.
Ex two time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive disparity - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I'm going to damage his features and damage his physique. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I will seriously aim to hurt him. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
In spite of these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually recognized for his showmanship - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead attacked ex Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua said.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Still, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, regularly earning substantial financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in round four or five and stated he would stop the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.
"It will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As the two fighters met for the usual confrontation, with their physical disparity on show, it highlighted just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the match is actually going ahead.
