I'll overwhelm 'serious fighter' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "break" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to publicize next month's bout.
Ex two-time unified title holder Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth disparity - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I plan to damage his features and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Respectful Interaction
Despite those words, a composed Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually famous for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, at the same time, targeted British rival Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of boxing's biggest commercial attractions, consistently making substantial earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old forecast a stoppage in round four or five and claimed he would stop the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently under discussion for 2026.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul met for the usual stare-down, with their size difference clearly visible, it drove home just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the bout is really proceeding.
