I will dominate 'credible combatant' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" the American as the combatants confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.
Ex two time world title holder Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive disparity - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I'm going to injure his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to seriously aim to hurt him. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
Despite those words, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK rival Fury - and declined a large bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer said.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's greatest financial successes, consistently making huge paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a KO victory in rounds four or five and stated he would stop the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly being planned for 2026.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters engaged in the traditional confrontation, with their height and weight contrast evident, it highlighted just how improbable this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is actually happening.
