I will stamp all over 'legitimate boxer' Paul - Joshua
The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight round match which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to promote next month's bout.
Former two-time unified heavyweight champion Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I'm going to break his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Interaction
Despite those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally famous for his showmanship - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK opponent Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua said.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to speak negatively about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he said.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
However, the relative newcomer is still one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, frequently receiving huge paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in rounds four or five and stated he would derail the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Difference
As the two fighters met for the customary stare-down, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it drove home just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the fight is truly proceeding.
