I will stamp all over 'serious boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight round match which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.
Ex two time unified boxing king Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I will damage his features and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to really want to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
Despite those words, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically recognized for his showmanship - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead attacked former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua said.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Still, the relative newcomer is still one of boxing's biggest financial successes, consistently making huge paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old predicted a stoppage in round four or five and asserted he would stop the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters participated in the usual face-off, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it drove home just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the bout is really happening.
