I'll stamp all over 'serious combatant' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight round contest which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "break" his opponent as the two fighters confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming bout.
Former two time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge disparity - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Mentality
"I plan to damage his features and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to seriously aim to hurt him. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
Despite these statements, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Paul instead targeted former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British rival Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer said.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
However, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, regularly earning huge earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in round four or five and stated he would stop the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.
"It's going to be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers met for the customary confrontation, with their physical disparity evident, it drove home just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the fight is really proceeding.
