I will overwhelm 'serious combatant' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" the American and "break" the American as the combatants met personally to publicize next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex two time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge mismatch - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I will break his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will really want to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
Despite these statements, a composed Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK rival Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
However, the novice is still one of boxing's biggest financial successes, frequently receiving substantial financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in round four or five and stated he would prevent the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for 2026.
"It will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul participated in the usual confrontation, with their size difference clearly visible, it emphasized just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is actually proceeding.
