I'll dominate 'credible boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to promote the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former two time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I will break his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to genuinely try to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Exchange
In spite of these statements, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - normally known for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather attacked ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer commented.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Paul's History
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, consistently making huge paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in round four or five and stated he would derail the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said.
Size Disparity
As the two fighters participated in the traditional confrontation, with their size difference on show, it drove home just how surprising this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the bout is truly proceeding.
