I'll stamp all over 'serious fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-bout contest which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to promote the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex two time unified heavyweight champion Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I plan to damage his features and hurt his body. I'm here to prove my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of such comments, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually famous for his theatrics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he said.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, frequently receiving substantial earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a knockout win in rounds four or five and stated he would prevent the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently under discussion for 2026.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters engaged in the usual confrontation, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it highlighted just how surprising this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is actually happening.
