I'll dominate 'serious boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-round match which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" the American as the combatants confronted each other to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex two-time world title holder Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I plan to damage his features and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to genuinely try to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
Despite those words, a composed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually known for his showmanship - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
However, the novice remains one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, frequently receiving massive financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in rounds four or five and asserted he would stop the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the customary confrontation, with their size difference on show, it drove home just how improbable this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is truly happening.
