I'll overwhelm 'legitimate boxer' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters met personally to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.
Ex two-time world heavyweight champion Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth disparity - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I plan to damage his features and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to seriously aim to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of such comments, a calm Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically recognized for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK rival Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to talk badly about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mostly fought MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Still, the novice is still one of boxing's greatest commercial attractions, regularly earning substantial earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in round four or five and claimed he would prevent the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers met for the usual stare-down, with their physical disparity evident, it emphasized just how surprising this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the match is truly happening.
