I will stamp all over 'credible combatant' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-round contest which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the combatants confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.
Former two time world title holder Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge disparity - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I will injure his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will really want to injure him. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
Despite these statements, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - typically recognized for his dramatics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked ex Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's biggest commercial attractions, consistently making huge financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would stop the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers met for the usual stare-down, with their size difference clearly visible, it drove home just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is actually proceeding.
