I will overwhelm 'legitimate fighter' Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "break" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to publicize next month's boxing match.
Ex two-time world boxing king Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I'm going to damage his features and break his body up. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to genuinely try to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
Despite those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - usually famous for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Still, the novice is still one of the sport's greatest financial successes, consistently making massive paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old predicted a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would stop the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul met for the traditional confrontation, with their size difference evident, it highlighted just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is really going ahead.
