I'll overwhelm 'credible boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-round contest which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the two fighters met personally to publicize next month's boxing match.
Ex twice unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I will damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to seriously aim to hurt him. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
Despite such comments, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically recognized for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, criticized British opponent Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
However, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's biggest financial successes, consistently making massive financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in round four or five and stated he would prevent the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul said.
Size Difference
As the two fighters engaged in the customary face-off, with their physical disparity on show, it drove home just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the match is actually happening.
