I will dominate 'serious boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the two fighters met personally to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Former two time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Mentality
"I plan to injure his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to seriously aim to injure him. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
Despite these statements, a composed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally recognized for his dramatics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead attacked former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British rival Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
However, the relative newcomer is still one of the sport's biggest financial successes, regularly earning huge paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a knockout win in round four or five and claimed he would prevent the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.
Physical Difference
As both boxers engaged in the customary confrontation, with their size difference evident, it highlighted just how surprising this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the fight is truly going ahead.
