I'll dominate 'serious boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight round contest which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.
Ex twice world boxing king Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive mismatch - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I will damage his features and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to seriously aim to hurt him. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
Despite those words, a calm Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally famous for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead attacked ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British rival Tyson Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's biggest commercial attractions, frequently receiving huge earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in round four or five and asserted he would prevent the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly in the works for 2026.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the traditional face-off, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is really proceeding.
