I will overwhelm 'serious fighter' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight round match which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming boxing match.
Ex two time world title holder Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I plan to damage his features and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to really want to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
Despite these statements, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically known for his showmanship - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted UK opponent Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua said.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Still, the relative newcomer is still one of the sport's largest financial successes, consistently making huge financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a KO victory in rounds four or five and asserted he would stop the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.
"It's going to be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As both boxers engaged in the usual stare-down, with their physical disparity on show, it emphasized just how improbable this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is actually happening.
