I will overwhelm 'serious combatant' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the pair came face-to-face to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex two-time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive disparity - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I will break his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to genuinely try to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of these statements, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically recognized for his showmanship - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, targeted British opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he showed up," the boxer stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Opponent
Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly fought MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
However, the novice is still one of the sport's greatest financial successes, frequently receiving massive financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old predicted a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would prevent the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.
"It will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters engaged in the customary confrontation, with their physical disparity on show, it drove home just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the fight is really proceeding.
