I'll dominate 'credible fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua
The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" the American as the two fighters met personally to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight.
Former two-time world title holder Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge mismatch - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Boxer's Attitude
"I plan to injure his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
Despite those words, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically famous for his showmanship - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at UK rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Still, the relative newcomer remains one of the sport's largest money-making draws, consistently making substantial paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would derail the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently under discussion for two years from now.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Disparity
As the two fighters participated in the traditional face-off, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it emphasized just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is truly happening.
