I'll stamp all over 'legitimate fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua
The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight round fight which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to promote next month's heavyweight fight.
Former two-time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I'm going to damage his features and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to genuinely try to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
Despite such comments, a calm Joshua and social media star Paul - usually famous for his dramatics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and called him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
However, the relative newcomer continues to be one of boxing's greatest commercial attractions, regularly earning huge earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in round four or five and claimed he would derail the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the customary confrontation, with their size difference clearly visible, it emphasized just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is really happening.
