I'll stamp all over 'credible boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to build hype for next month's boxing match.
Ex two time unified boxing king Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive disparity - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I'm going to injure his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
In spite of those words, a composed Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally recognized for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer remains one of boxing's biggest commercial attractions, frequently receiving huge earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old predicted a knockout win in rounds four or five and stated he would prevent the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.
"It will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As both boxers engaged in the usual stare-down, with their physical disparity on show, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the match is really happening.
