I'll stamp all over 'credible combatant' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight round fight which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "overpower" the American as the combatants confronted each other to publicize the upcoming boxing match.
Ex two-time world heavyweight champion Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I plan to injure his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
In spite of these statements, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - usually famous for his showmanship - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized ex Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a bout proposal.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted British rival Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Still, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, regularly earning substantial financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would stop the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.
"It will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Difference
As both boxers engaged in the customary confrontation, with their height and weight contrast evident, it drove home just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the bout is really going ahead.
