I'll stamp all over 'legitimate fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight round contest which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to publicize the upcoming boxing match.
Former two-time unified title holder Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I plan to injure his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove my superiority," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will really want to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
Despite those words, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Paul instead criticized ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British opponent Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
However, the novice continues to be one of boxing's greatest commercial attractions, frequently receiving huge financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a stoppage in rounds four or five and stated he would derail the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.
Size Difference
As the two fighters engaged in the traditional stare-down, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it drove home just how unlikely this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is really going ahead.
