I'll stamp all over 'serious boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round contest which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to promote next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex two time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I'm going to injure his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to really want to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
In spite of these statements, a calm Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually famous for his dramatics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite saying he intends to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.
Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, consistently making substantial paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in round four or five and claimed he would prevent the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Difference
As both boxers participated in the usual confrontation, with their size difference evident, it highlighted just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the bout is really going ahead.
