I'll overwhelm 'credible fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-round contest which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the two fighters came face-to-face to build hype for next month's bout.
Ex two time unified title holder Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I plan to break his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will really want to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Exchange
Despite these statements, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally famous for his theatrics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at UK rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul win.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's biggest commercial attractions, frequently receiving huge financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a stoppage in round four or five and stated he would stop the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly in the works for 2026.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul said.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters participated in the usual face-off, with their physical disparity on show, it highlighted just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the bout is actually happening.
