I'll stamp all over 'credible fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout contest which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" the American as the two fighters came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming bout.
Former two time unified boxing king Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I'm going to injure his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
In spite of such comments, a composed Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian rejected a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, targeted UK rival Tyson Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since becoming pro.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's biggest financial successes, regularly earning huge paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would derail the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.
Size Difference
As the two fighters engaged in the usual confrontation, with their size difference evident, it drove home just how surprising this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is truly happening.
