I will overwhelm 'legitimate boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" the American as the combatants came face-to-face to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Ex twice world title holder Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I will injure his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to really want to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
Despite those words, a calm Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually known for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK opponent Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Still, the novice is still one of the sport's greatest financial successes, frequently receiving massive paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would derail the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.
"It will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As the two fighters participated in the traditional confrontation, with their size difference clearly visible, it drove home just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is really going ahead.
