I'll stamp all over 'serious boxer' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round match which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "overpower" the American as the pair confronted each other to promote the upcoming bout.
Former two-time world title holder Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Boxer's Mentality
"I'm going to break his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
Despite such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK opponent Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Opponent
Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily fought MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Still, the relative newcomer continues to be one of boxing's greatest financial successes, regularly earning huge paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a stoppage in round four or five and asserted he would stop the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently under discussion for two years from now.
"It's going to be my match with Fury next year," Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters participated in the traditional stare-down, with their height and weight contrast evident, it emphasized just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is really proceeding.
