I will stamp all over 'credible combatant' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-bout contest which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to publicize next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex two-time unified title holder Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I plan to break his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will seriously aim to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
Despite those words, a calm Joshua and social media star Paul - normally known for his showmanship - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
However, the novice is still one of the sport's biggest commercial attractions, regularly earning huge earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would derail the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently in the works for 2026.
"It's going to be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul met for the customary confrontation, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it drove home just how improbable this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the match is actually happening.
