I will dominate 'serious fighter' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight round match which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the combatants came face-to-face to promote the upcoming bout.
Ex two time world heavyweight champion Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Mindset
"I plan to damage his features and hurt his body. I'm here to prove my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to really want to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Exchange
Despite those words, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically recognized for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather attacked ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
However, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, frequently receiving substantial financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in rounds four or five and claimed he would derail the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.
Size Disparity
As the two fighters met for the usual confrontation, with their size difference evident, it highlighted just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the match is really proceeding.
