I will stamp all over 'credible boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-round contest which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the combatants met personally to promote next month's bout.
Ex two time world boxing king Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I will break his face and break his body up. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
Despite such comments, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually recognized for his showmanship - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted ex Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British opponent Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua said.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice is still one of boxing's greatest financial successes, regularly earning massive paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old predicted a stoppage in round four or five and stated he would prevent the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently in the works for 2026.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.
Size Difference
As both boxers met for the usual face-off, with their physical disparity on show, it drove home just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the match is actually proceeding.
