I'll overwhelm 'credible boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters confronted each other to promote next month's heavyweight fight.
Former two time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I will damage his features and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to seriously aim to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
In spite of these statements, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather attacked former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted British rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional.
He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the novice remains one of boxing's largest money-making draws, frequently receiving substantial earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in rounds four or five and asserted he would stop the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for 2026.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul participated in the usual confrontation, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it drove home just how surprising this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is truly proceeding.
