I'll stamp all over 'credible fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua
The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.
Ex two-time unified title holder Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth disparity - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I'm going to break his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to really want to injure him. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
Despite those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally known for his theatrics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather criticized ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British rival Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice is still one of the sport's biggest commercial attractions, consistently making massive paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old predicted a KO victory in rounds four or five and stated he would prevent the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently being planned for two years from now.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters engaged in the customary stare-down, with their size difference on show, it highlighted just how improbable this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is really going ahead.
