I will overwhelm 'legitimate boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to build hype for next month's bout.
Ex two time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive mismatch - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I plan to damage his features and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to really want to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Civil Exchange
In spite of those words, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically known for his dramatics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather targeted former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted British opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer is still one of boxing's greatest financial successes, consistently making huge paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a knockout win in round four or five and claimed he would derail the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul said.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the usual face-off, with their physical disparity evident, it emphasized just how unlikely this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is truly proceeding.
