I'll stamp all over 'credible boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight round fight which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to publicize next month's heavyweight fight.
Former two time world title holder Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I will injure his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to really want to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Exchange
In spite of those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK opponent Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer said.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he said.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's greatest financial successes, frequently receiving huge financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would derail the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the traditional face-off, with their physical disparity on show, it drove home just how improbable this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is really happening.
