I'll stamp all over 'credible boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-round contest which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" the American as the pair confronted each other to build hype for next month's boxing match.
Ex two-time unified heavyweight champion Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I'm going to injure his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
Despite these statements, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Paul - normally famous for his showmanship - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer commented.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he said.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, frequently receiving massive earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old predicted a stoppage in round four or five and claimed he would prevent the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Difference
As the two fighters engaged in the traditional stare-down, with their size difference evident, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the bout is really proceeding.
