I will stamp all over 'legitimate fighter' Paul - Joshua
The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the two fighters met personally to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex two-time unified title holder Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I will damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to seriously aim to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically famous for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British opponent Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua said.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite stating he plans to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer continues to be one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, frequently receiving massive paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in rounds four or five and stated he would derail the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently under discussion for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters met for the traditional confrontation, with their physical disparity on show, it highlighted just how improbable this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the match is truly happening.
