I'll stamp all over 'serious fighter' Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to build hype for the upcoming bout.
Ex two time world title holder Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge disparity - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I'm going to injure his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to really want to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
Despite such comments, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally famous for his dramatics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked ex Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a bout proposal.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized UK rival Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Opponent
Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Paul's History
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the novice remains one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, frequently receiving massive financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in rounds four or five and stated he would derail the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly in the works for 2026.
"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the usual confrontation, with their size difference evident, it highlighted just how improbable this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is actually proceeding.
