I'll overwhelm 'credible boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight round fight which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.
Ex two time world title holder Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth disparity - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I will break his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
Despite those words, a calm Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally known for his showmanship - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Still, the relative newcomer remains one of the sport's biggest financial successes, frequently receiving substantial paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old predicted a knockout win in rounds four or five and stated he would derail the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Size Disparity
As both boxers met for the customary stare-down, with their physical disparity on show, it drove home just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the match is really happening.
