Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to publicize next month's boxing match.
Ex two-time unified title holder Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive mismatch - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I'm going to injure his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
Despite these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually known for his dramatics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather targeted former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK rival Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's largest financial successes, frequently receiving massive paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would derail the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers engaged in the usual confrontation, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it highlighted just how improbable this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is actually happening.
