I'll overwhelm 'credible combatant' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua said he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to promote the upcoming bout.
Former twice unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I plan to damage his features and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to really want to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
In spite of these statements, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally recognized for his theatrics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather targeted ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British opponent Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua declined to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
However, the relative newcomer remains one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, regularly earning massive financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in rounds four or five and claimed he would prevent the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As both boxers participated in the usual face-off, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it highlighted just how surprising this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the fight is actually going ahead.
