I will stamp all over 'credible fighter' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-round match which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the two fighters confronted each other to promote the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former twice world title holder Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Attitude
"I plan to injure his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, 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."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of these statements, a calm Joshua and social media star Paul - usually known for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, at the same time, criticized British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he's present here," Joshua said.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to speak negatively about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since becoming pro.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's largest commercial attractions, frequently receiving massive earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in rounds four or five and asserted he would derail the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently under discussion for two years from now.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Disparity
As both boxers participated in the customary confrontation, with their size difference evident, it drove home just how surprising this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is really happening.
