I'll overwhelm 'serious boxer' Paul - Joshua
The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight round match which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" the American as the combatants came face-to-face to promote next month's bout.
Former two time world heavyweight champion Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge disparity - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I plan to break his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to really want to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
Despite those words, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually recognized for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK rival Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua said.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Still, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, consistently making massive earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in rounds four or five and stated he would prevent the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.
"It's going to be my match with Fury next year," Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul met for the traditional confrontation, with their height and weight contrast evident, it drove home just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the fight is truly proceeding.
