I will overwhelm 'legitimate fighter' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-round contest which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the pair met personally to promote next month's boxing match.
Former two-time unified title holder Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I will break his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I will really want to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
Despite those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually famous for his dramatics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after the Cameroonian rejected a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, at the same time, criticized UK rival Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, frequently receiving substantial financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would stop the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters participated in the traditional confrontation, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it highlighted just how surprising this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is truly proceeding.
