I'll overwhelm 'legitimate boxer' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight round contest which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" the American as the pair met personally to publicize the upcoming boxing match.
Ex twice unified title holder Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I will damage his features and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to really want to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
Despite these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - normally known for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather targeted ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he said.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Still, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's biggest financial successes, consistently making massive financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would derail the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently in the works for 2026.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Disparity
As the two fighters participated in the traditional stare-down, with their physical disparity on show, it emphasized just how surprising this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is truly happening.
