I will overwhelm 'credible boxer' Paul - Joshua
The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight round match which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" the American as the pair confronted each other to promote next month's boxing match.
Ex two time world boxing king Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I plan to damage his features and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will really want to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Respectful Exchange
Despite those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - typically recognized for his theatrics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead criticized former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted British opponent Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, frequently receiving substantial paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old predicted a KO victory in round four or five and asserted he would stop the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.
"It will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Size Difference
As the two fighters engaged in the customary confrontation, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it drove home just how improbable this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is truly happening.
