I will overwhelm 'serious boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-round match which will be shown live on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Ex twice unified heavyweight champion Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth disparity - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I plan to break his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to really want to injure him. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
Despite these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - typically recognized for his dramatics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, targeted British rival Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
However, the novice remains one of boxing's biggest financial successes, regularly earning substantial earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in round four or five and asserted he would prevent the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters engaged in the traditional stare-down, with their height and weight contrast evident, it drove home just how improbable this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the bout is really going ahead.
