I will stamp all over 'credible fighter' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to build hype for next month's bout.
Former two-time unified boxing king Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge mismatch - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I plan to break his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to really want to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally recognized for his theatrics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, criticized British opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, regularly earning substantial earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in round four or five and claimed he would prevent the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly being planned for 2026.
"It will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the traditional confrontation, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it highlighted just how improbable this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the match is really proceeding.
