I will stamp all over 'serious fighter' Paul - Joshua
The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be shown live on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the combatants met personally to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Former twice world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive disparity - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I plan to break his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to genuinely try to injure him. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
Despite those words, a composed Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically recognized for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead attacked former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British rival Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Still, the relative newcomer continues to be one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, consistently making massive financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in round four or five and stated he would derail the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently in the works for two years from now.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul said.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters met for the traditional face-off, with their physical disparity evident, it emphasized just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is truly going ahead.
