Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-round match which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to publicize next month's bout.
Ex two-time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I plan to damage his features and hurt his body. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to seriously aim to hurt him. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
Despite these statements, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically recognized for his showmanship - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead targeted ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian rejected a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK opponent Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a credible opponent," 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 turning professional.
He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer is still one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, consistently making huge paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old predicted a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would derail the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly being planned for 2026.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul met for the usual face-off, with their size difference on show, it drove home just how improbable this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is actually proceeding.
