I'll overwhelm 'serious fighter' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the combatants confronted each other to promote next month's boxing match.
Former two-time world boxing king Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth disparity - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Boxer's Attitude
"I'm going to injure his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to genuinely try to injure him. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
In spite of such comments, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He lost to British fighter Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
However, the novice continues to be one of boxing's biggest financial successes, consistently making massive earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old predicted a KO victory in rounds four or five and claimed he would derail the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Size Difference
As both boxers participated in the usual confrontation, with their size difference on show, it emphasized just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the match is actually going ahead.
