I will stamp all over 'serious combatant' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight round fight which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" the American as the combatants confronted each other to promote next month's bout.
Ex two-time world boxing king Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge disparity - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I plan to injure his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I will genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
In spite of those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally famous for his theatrics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British opponent Fury - and declined a large bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua declined to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Paul's History
Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
However, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, frequently receiving substantial earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in rounds four or five and asserted he would stop the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now.
"It will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul participated in the traditional face-off, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it emphasized just how improbable this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is actually going ahead.
