I'll stamp all over 'credible fighter' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight round fight which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the pair met personally to build hype for next month's boxing match.
Ex twice world heavyweight champion Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge mismatch - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I plan to injure his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove my superiority," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I will really want to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
In spite of such comments, a calm Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally famous for his theatrics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather criticized former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, criticized British rival Tyson Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Opponent
Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's largest money-making draws, consistently making substantial paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in round four or five and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Difference
As the two fighters engaged in the customary face-off, with their size difference on show, it drove home just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the match is really proceeding.
