I'll dominate 'serious combatant' Jake Paul - Joshua
The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters confronted each other to publicize the upcoming boxing match.
Ex two-time world boxing king Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Mentality
"I plan to break his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will genuinely try to hurt him. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
In spite of such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically famous for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked ex Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Still, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, regularly earning massive paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a knockout win in rounds four or five and asserted he would prevent the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.
Size Difference
As the two fighters engaged in the usual face-off, with their physical disparity on show, it drove home just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is truly proceeding.
