I will overwhelm 'legitimate fighter' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight round contest which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the combatants confronted each other to promote next month's boxing match.
Former two time unified heavyweight champion Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive disparity - at Miami arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I will damage his features and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will really want to injure him. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of those words, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Paul - normally known for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, targeted British rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or faded names since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Still, the relative newcomer remains one of the sport's biggest commercial attractions, regularly earning huge earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in round four or five and claimed he would stop the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters participated in the usual stare-down, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is really proceeding.
