I will dominate 'legitimate boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" the American as the pair confronted each other to publicize next month's bout.
Ex two-time unified boxing king Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I'm going to injure his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to genuinely try to injure him. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
In spite of those words, a calm Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian turned down a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, regularly earning massive financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old forecast a stoppage in round four or five and claimed he would stop the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly being planned for 2026.
"It will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Difference
As the two fighters participated in the customary face-off, with their physical disparity on show, it emphasized just how surprising this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the match is really happening.
