I'll stamp all over 'credible boxer' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "overpower" the American as the combatants confronted each other to publicize next month's boxing match.
Former two time unified title holder Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I'm going to break his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I will really want to injure him. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - typically famous for his theatrics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather targeted former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Still, the novice continues to be one of the sport's largest financial successes, frequently receiving substantial earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would stop the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for 2026.
"It will be my match with Fury next year," Paul said.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters engaged in the usual face-off, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it drove home just how improbable this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is actually going ahead.
