I'll stamp all over 'credible fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua
The British boxer is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be streamed live on Netflix.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to promote next month's boxing match.
Ex twice unified boxing king Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I will damage his features and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my goal."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically recognized for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK opponent Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's largest financial successes, consistently making huge paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a stoppage in round four or five and claimed he would stop the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly being planned for 2026.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said.
Size Disparity
As both boxers engaged in the usual stare-down, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is really proceeding.
