I'll stamp all over 'legitimate combatant' Jake Paul - Joshua
The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex twice world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge disparity - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I will damage his features and hurt his body. I'm here to prove my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to really want to injure him. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
In spite of those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - usually famous for his theatrics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather attacked former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK opponent Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He lost to British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Still, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's largest financial successes, frequently receiving huge paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a stoppage in rounds four or five and asserted he would derail the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently under discussion for 2026.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul said.
Size Difference
As the two fighters met for the customary confrontation, with their size difference clearly visible, it drove home just how improbable this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is really proceeding.
