I will overwhelm 'credible boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the pair met personally to publicize next month's bout.
Former two time world boxing king Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive disparity - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I will damage his features and break his body up. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to really want to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
Despite those words, a calm Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally famous for his showmanship - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather criticized ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
However, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's biggest commercial attractions, consistently making massive paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in round four or five and claimed he would stop the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Disparity
As both boxers met for the traditional confrontation, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it emphasized just how improbable this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the fight is really going ahead.
