I'll dominate 'credible fighter' Paul - Joshua
The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-round contest which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" the American and "overpower" the American as the two fighters came face-to-face to promote the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former two time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive disparity - at Miami arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I will break his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of those words, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - normally recognized for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead attacked former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized UK opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a large bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
However, the novice continues to be one of the sport's greatest financial successes, frequently receiving massive financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would stop the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly being planned for 2026.
"It will be my match with Fury next year," Paul declared.
Size Difference
As both boxers engaged in the usual face-off, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it highlighted just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the bout is truly proceeding.
