I'll overwhelm 'credible combatant' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight round fight which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" the American as the combatants confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.
Former twice unified title holder Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Mentality
"I plan to injure his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I will really want to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Exchange
Despite these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically famous for his theatrics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Paul instead criticized ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian turned down a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British opponent Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he said.
Paul's History
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of boxing's largest financial successes, consistently making substantial earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in round four or five and stated he would prevent the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Size Difference
As both boxers participated in the traditional stare-down, with their size difference clearly visible, it drove home just how unlikely this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the match is actually proceeding.
