I will stamp all over 'legitimate boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-round contest which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "overpower" the American as the combatants confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.
Ex twice unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive disparity - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I'm going to damage his features and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally famous for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British opponent Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua declined to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he said.
Paul's History
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Still, the relative newcomer remains one of boxing's largest money-making draws, regularly earning substantial earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in round four or five and asserted he would stop the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul said.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul met for the traditional face-off, with their physical disparity evident, it highlighted just how surprising this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the match is truly proceeding.
