I will overwhelm 'legitimate boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" the American as the two fighters came face-to-face to publicize next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex twice world heavyweight champion Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I'm going to break his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to really want to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Interaction
Despite these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - typically recognized for his showmanship - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, targeted British rival Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer said.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the novice is still one of boxing's largest money-making draws, consistently making massive paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a stoppage in round four or five and asserted he would derail the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently under discussion for 2026.
"It's going to be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Size Difference
As both boxers met for the usual stare-down, with their height and weight contrast on show, it drove home just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is really proceeding.
