I will dominate 'legitimate combatant' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" the American and "overpower" the American as the combatants met personally to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.
Former twice world boxing king Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I plan to damage his features and break his body up. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to really want to hurt him. That's my goal."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally famous for his showmanship - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked ex Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British opponent Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Paul's History
Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's biggest commercial attractions, frequently receiving huge financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old predicted a knockout win in round four or five and claimed he would derail the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the usual face-off, with their physical disparity on show, it drove home just how improbable this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is truly proceeding.
