I'll dominate 'legitimate boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-bout contest which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua said he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to publicize the upcoming bout.
Ex two time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Boxer's Attitude
"I'm going to damage his features and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I will really want to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
In spite of those words, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically known for his theatrics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather criticized former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted UK opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's present here," the boxer said.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he said.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Still, the novice continues to be one of the sport's largest commercial attractions, regularly earning substantial earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a knockout win in round four or five and asserted he would derail the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters participated in the usual face-off, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how improbable this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the bout is truly happening.
