I will dominate 'legitimate boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight round contest which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "break" the American as the combatants met personally to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Ex twice world title holder Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth disparity - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I will injure his face 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 genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
In spite of such comments, a calm Joshua and social media star Paul - typically known for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK rival Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he's present here," Joshua said.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
However, the novice continues to be one of boxing's biggest commercial attractions, regularly earning huge paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in round four or five and stated he would derail the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul participated in the customary face-off, with their height and weight contrast on show, it highlighted just how surprising this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is really happening.
