I will overwhelm 'serious fighter' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight round match which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua said he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the combatants confronted each other to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex two time world boxing king Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge disparity - at Miami arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I plan to damage his features and break his body up. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to really want to injure him. That's my goal."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of these statements, a calm Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually known for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead targeted former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian rejected a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK rival Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Still, the novice continues to be one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, frequently receiving huge financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would derail the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters engaged in the customary confrontation, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the bout is truly going ahead.
