I will stamp all over 'serious boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight round fight which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" his opponent as the combatants met personally to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Ex two time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge disparity - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I will damage his features and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
In spite of those words, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually recognized for his showmanship - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British opponent Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to speak negatively about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he said.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Still, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's biggest commercial attractions, regularly earning massive earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a knockout win in round four or five and asserted he would derail the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently under discussion for two years from now.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Size Difference
As both boxers engaged in the usual confrontation, with their height and weight contrast evident, it highlighted just how improbable this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the match is really happening.
