I will stamp all over 'credible fighter' Paul - Joshua
The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight round fight which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the pair confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.
Former twice unified boxing king Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I'm going to injure his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I will really want to hurt him. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
In spite of such comments, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually known for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Paul instead targeted ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian rejected a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.
Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
However, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, regularly earning massive paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would derail the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Paul stated.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the usual face-off, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it highlighted just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the bout is truly proceeding.
