I'll dominate 'credible combatant' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight round fight which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.
Former twice world boxing king Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Attitude
"I plan to break his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to really want to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of those words, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically known for his theatrics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British rival Tyson Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer remains one of the sport's biggest commercial attractions, frequently receiving substantial financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in rounds four or five and claimed he would derail the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly being planned for 2026.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said.
Physical Difference
As both boxers participated in the customary confrontation, with their size difference on show, it drove home just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is actually proceeding.
