I will stamp all over 'serious boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "break" the American as the combatants confronted each other to publicize next month's boxing match.
Ex twice unified title holder Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I plan to damage his features and damage his physique. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to really want to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
Despite these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically recognized for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian turned down a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British rival Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he showed up," the boxer stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
However, the relative newcomer remains one of boxing's largest financial successes, consistently making huge earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in rounds four or five and claimed he would prevent the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul said.
Size Disparity
As both boxers engaged in the usual stare-down, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the match is really going ahead.
