I'll overwhelm 'credible combatant' Paul - Joshua
The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to publicize next month's heavyweight fight.
Former two time unified boxing king Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Mentality
"I plan to break his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
In spite of those words, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally famous for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Still, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's largest commercial attractions, frequently receiving huge paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would stop the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the customary confrontation, with their height and weight contrast on show, it drove home just how improbable this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is really happening.
