I'll dominate 'legitimate combatant' Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-round match which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" the American as the two fighters met personally to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Ex two-time world title holder Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth disparity - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Boxer's Mentality
"I'm going to break his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to really want to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Respectful Interaction
Despite these statements, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically known for his theatrics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at UK rival Fury - and declined a large bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's biggest financial successes, consistently making substantial paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old predicted a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As the two fighters participated in the usual confrontation, with their height and weight contrast evident, it emphasized just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is truly happening.
