I will overwhelm 'legitimate combatant' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" the American as the pair met personally to publicize next month's boxing match.
Former two time world boxing king Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Boxer's Attitude
"I'm going to break his face and break his body up. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to really want to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
Despite those words, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically known for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British rival Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua said.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Still, the relative newcomer continues to be one of boxing's biggest commercial attractions, consistently making massive paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in round four or five and stated he would prevent the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul participated in the customary face-off, with their size difference clearly visible, it emphasized just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the fight is truly going ahead.
