I'll stamp all over 'legitimate boxer' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-round contest which will be shown live on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" the American as the two fighters came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former twice world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth disparity - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I will break his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to really want to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of those words, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after the Cameroonian rejected a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, targeted UK opponent Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's greatest financial successes, consistently making massive earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old forecast a knockout win in round four or five and claimed he would stop the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly in the works for 2026.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As both boxers met for the usual face-off, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how surprising this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is really going ahead.
