I will dominate 'credible combatant' Jake Paul - Joshua
The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout match which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" his opponent as the two fighters confronted each other to build hype for next month's bout.
Former twice world title holder Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Attitude
"I will damage his features and break his body up. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to really want to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of such comments, a calm Joshua and social media star Paul - usually known for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British opponent Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to talk badly about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
However, the relative newcomer remains one of boxing's biggest commercial attractions, frequently receiving substantial paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.
"It will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters engaged in the customary confrontation, with their physical disparity evident, it emphasized just how improbable this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is really proceeding.
