I will dominate 'serious fighter' Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex two-time unified title holder Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive disparity - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I will damage his features and damage his physique. I'm here to prove my superiority," Joshua, 35, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will seriously aim to hurt him. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
Despite such comments, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally known for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather attacked former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian rejected a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua declined to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of the sport's greatest financial successes, regularly earning massive financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in rounds four or five and claimed he would prevent the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now.
"It will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Difference
As the two fighters participated in the traditional stare-down, with their size difference evident, it emphasized just how improbable this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is truly going ahead.
