I will overwhelm 'legitimate boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua said he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming bout.
Ex two time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth disparity - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I plan to injure his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will genuinely try to injure him. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
Despite these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally famous for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead criticized former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he said.
Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Still, the novice is still one of boxing's greatest financial successes, regularly earning huge earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in rounds four or five and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly in the works for 2026.
"It will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters engaged in the traditional confrontation, with their physical disparity on show, it emphasized just how unlikely this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is really going ahead.
