I will dominate 'legitimate fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua
The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-round match which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants met personally to build hype for the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex twice unified boxing king Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I plan to break his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually known for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at UK opponent Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer is still one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, regularly earning huge financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in round four or five and asserted he would derail the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently in the works for 2026.
"It's going to be my match with Fury next year," Paul declared.
Size Disparity
As both boxers met for the traditional confrontation, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the match is really happening.
