The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to publicize next month's heavyweight fight.
Former twice world boxing king Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge disparity - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I will damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to really want to hurt him. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
Despite these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically recognized for his dramatics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian rejected a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted British opponent Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's largest financial successes, consistently making huge earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would stop the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"It will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Size Disparity
As both boxers participated in the usual stare-down, with their physical disparity evident, it emphasized just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the match is really going ahead.
