I will dominate 'legitimate combatant' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" the American as the two fighters met personally to promote next month's heavyweight fight.
Former two-time world heavyweight champion Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I plan to break his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to really want to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of those words, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically known for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized British opponent Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he said.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of the sport's biggest financial successes, regularly earning huge paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old forecast a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would stop the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently in the works for two years from now.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Size Difference
As the two fighters participated in the traditional stare-down, with their size difference evident, it emphasized just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is really happening.
