I'll dominate 'legitimate combatant' 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 said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the pair met personally to promote the upcoming bout.
Former two-time world title holder Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive disparity - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I'm going to break his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to seriously aim to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
Despite these statements, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - typically famous for his showmanship - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather attacked ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after the Cameroonian rejected a bout proposal.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, targeted UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Still, the novice is still one of boxing's biggest financial successes, consistently making huge earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would derail the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly in the works for 2026.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul said.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters participated in the customary face-off, with their size difference clearly visible, it highlighted just how surprising this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the fight is really proceeding.
