I will dominate 'credible combatant' Paul - Joshua
The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout match which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the combatants met personally to promote the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex two time unified title holder Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge disparity - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Boxer's Mentality
"I plan to break his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will seriously aim to injure him. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of those words, a calm Joshua and social media star Paul - typically famous for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after the Cameroonian rejected a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Still, the relative newcomer remains one of the sport's biggest commercial attractions, frequently receiving substantial financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in rounds four or five and asserted he would derail the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul said.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters participated in the customary face-off, with their size difference on show, it highlighted just how unlikely this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is really proceeding.
