I'll stamp all over 'serious fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight round contest which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" the American as the combatants confronted each other to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex twice unified boxing king Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I plan to injure his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will genuinely try to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of such comments, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - normally famous for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted ex Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted UK rival Tyson Fury - and declined a large bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer remains one of boxing's biggest financial successes, frequently receiving substantial paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a knockout win in round four or five and stated he would stop the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"It's going to be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters met for the traditional confrontation, with their size difference evident, it emphasized just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is really happening.
