I will stamp all over 'legitimate fighter' Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be streamed live on Netflix.
Briton Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming bout.
Ex two-time world boxing king Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth disparity - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I will break his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to really want to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
Despite these statements, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually famous for his showmanship - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather attacked former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at UK rival Tyson Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Opponent
Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he said.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
However, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, regularly earning substantial financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a knockout win in round four or five and stated he would derail the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters engaged in the customary confrontation, with their height and weight contrast on show, it highlighted just how improbable this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the fight is actually proceeding.
