I'll stamp all over 'serious fighter' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-round match which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the pair confronted each other to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex two time unified heavyweight champion Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive disparity - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I'm going to injure his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to really want to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
Despite these statements, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally famous for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead criticized former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a large bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's largest financial successes, frequently receiving substantial earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a knockout win in round four or five and asserted he would stop the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly in the works for 2026.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said.
Size Disparity
As both boxers engaged in the traditional confrontation, with their physical disparity evident, it drove home just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is really going ahead.
