I'll overwhelm 'legitimate combatant' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight round contest which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "overpower" the American as the two fighters came face-to-face to promote the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex twice world heavyweight champion Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I plan to damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
In spite of such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - typically known for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather attacked ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua said.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
However, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's largest money-making draws, frequently receiving substantial paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a stoppage in rounds four or five and asserted he would prevent the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently under discussion for 2026.
"It will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the customary stare-down, with their size difference clearly visible, it emphasized just how unlikely this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the fight is truly happening.
