I'll dominate 'credible boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round contest which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to publicize next month's boxing match.
Ex two time unified heavyweight champion Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive disparity - at Miami arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I will break his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to really want to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
Despite those words, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather attacked ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British rival Tyson Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua said.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
However, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, consistently making huge paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would prevent the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the traditional face-off, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is truly happening.
