I will stamp all over 'legitimate boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight round fight which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to promote next month's boxing match.
Ex two time world title holder Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I will injure his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to genuinely try to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
Despite these statements, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally recognized for his showmanship - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead targeted ex Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK rival Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he said.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Still, the novice is still one of the sport's biggest commercial attractions, consistently making substantial earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old predicted a knockout win in round four or five and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.
Size Difference
As the two fighters participated in the traditional confrontation, with their physical disparity on show, it highlighted just how improbable this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the bout is really proceeding.
