I will stamp all over 'serious combatant' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round match which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "overpower" the American as the pair confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming bout.
Former two-time world title holder Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth disparity - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I will break his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I will genuinely try to hurt him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
In spite of such comments, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually known for his theatrics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Paul instead attacked former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, at the same time, targeted British rival Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to talk badly about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Still, the novice continues to be one of the sport's greatest financial successes, frequently receiving substantial financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would prevent the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.
Size Disparity
As the two fighters participated in the usual face-off, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how unlikely this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the match is truly proceeding.
