I will dominate 'legitimate fighter' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight round match which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex two time world boxing king Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge disparity - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I plan to break his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
In spite of such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally famous for his showmanship - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather criticized former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Still, the relative newcomer remains one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, consistently making huge paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in rounds four or five and claimed he would stop the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Size Disparity
As the two fighters participated in the traditional face-off, with their height and weight contrast evident, it emphasized just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is really happening.
