I will dominate 'legitimate fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua
The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight round match which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to build hype for next month's bout.
Ex two-time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I will break his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to genuinely try 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 - typically recognized for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer remains one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, frequently receiving huge financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a stoppage in round four or five and asserted he would prevent the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly being planned for 2026.
"It's going to be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers participated in the usual confrontation, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it highlighted just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is actually happening.
