I will overwhelm 'legitimate boxer' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to build hype for next month's bout.
Ex twice world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I plan to break his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to really want to injure him. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
In spite of such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally famous for his dramatics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather targeted former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after Ngannou declined a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Still, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, consistently making substantial paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would prevent the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly being planned for two years from now.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul participated in the usual stare-down, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it drove home just how improbable this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the match is truly happening.
