I'll stamp all over 'serious fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua
The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight round match which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "break" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to promote next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex two time world boxing king Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I'm going to injure his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to seriously aim to hurt him. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
In spite of these statements, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather targeted ex Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted British opponent 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 present here," Joshua said.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer remains one of boxing's biggest financial successes, regularly earning massive paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a knockout win in round four or five and asserted he would derail the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It's going to be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul met for the usual face-off, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it emphasized just how unlikely this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the match is truly proceeding.
