I'll overwhelm 'serious fighter' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round match which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to promote next month's bout.
Former two-time world boxing king Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth disparity - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I'm going to injure his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove my superiority," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to genuinely try to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
Despite these statements, a calm Joshua and social media star Paul - typically famous for his theatrics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
However, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, consistently making substantial financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would derail the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly being planned for 2026.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul said.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters participated in the usual face-off, with their physical disparity on show, it emphasized just how improbable this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is truly going ahead.
