I'll overwhelm 'serious fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight round contest which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" the American as the pair met personally to publicize next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex two time world boxing king Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I will break his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to really want to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically famous for his theatrics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather targeted ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK opponent Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
However, the novice continues to be one of the sport's biggest commercial attractions, consistently making huge paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would prevent the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently being planned for two years from now.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul said.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul participated in the usual stare-down, with their size difference evident, it highlighted just how unlikely this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is actually happening.
