I will overwhelm 'serious fighter' Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight.
Former two time world title holder Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I plan to damage his features and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to seriously aim to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Exchange
Despite those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically known for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British rival Tyson Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua said.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua declined to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer is still one of the sport's largest commercial attractions, frequently receiving massive paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in round four or five and stated he would derail the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently under discussion for two years from now.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Difference
As both boxers engaged in the customary face-off, with their size difference evident, it highlighted just how improbable this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the match is actually going ahead.
