I will dominate 'legitimate combatant' Paul - Joshua
The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round match which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" the American as the pair came face-to-face to publicize next month's bout.
Former two time world heavyweight champion Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I will damage his features and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will really want to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of those words, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually known for his showmanship - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Opponent
Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, frequently receiving massive earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old predicted a knockout win in round four or five and claimed he would stop the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul met for the usual stare-down, with their physical disparity on show, it drove home just how unlikely this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is truly going ahead.
