I will stamp all over 'credible boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-bout match which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" the American as the combatants met personally to publicize next month's bout.
Ex twice world title holder Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I will damage his features and damage his physique. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will seriously aim to hurt him. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of these statements, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - usually recognized for his theatrics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted British rival Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
However, the novice remains one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, frequently receiving massive paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in round four or five and stated he would prevent the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently under discussion for 2026.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the usual face-off, with their height and weight contrast on show, it drove home just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is truly proceeding.
