I'll overwhelm 'serious boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the pair came face-to-face to promote next month's boxing match.
Ex twice unified title holder Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I will break his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will really want to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Interaction
Despite those words, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally famous for his dramatics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, criticized British rival Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he said.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Still, the novice continues to be one of boxing's greatest commercial attractions, regularly earning massive financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would derail the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul met for the customary stare-down, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it drove home just how improbable this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is truly going ahead.
