I'll dominate 'credible combatant' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the pair met personally to build hype for the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex two-time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I plan to break his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will genuinely try to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Exchange
Despite these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally known for his theatrics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead targeted ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, criticized British opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Still, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, regularly earning huge earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in round four or five and asserted he would prevent the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters engaged in the usual confrontation, with their size difference clearly visible, it emphasized just how surprising this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the match is truly happening.
